[ Upstream commit 9e96652756ad647b7bcc03cb99ffc9756d7b5f93 ]
Function dev_alloc_skb() will return a NULL pointer if there is no enough memory. However, in function WILC_WFI_mon_xmit(), its return value is used without validation. This may result in a bad memory access bug. This patch fixes the bug.
