Subject: mt7601u: check return value of alloc_skb

From: Pan Bian <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 5fb01e91daf84ad1e50edfcf63116ecbe31e7ba7 ]

Function alloc_skb() will return a NULL pointer if there is no enough memory. However, in function mt7601u_mcu_msg_alloc(), its return value is not validated before it is used. This patch fixes it.
