[PATCH] commoncap: Handle memory allocation failure.

From: Tetsuo Handa
Date: Tue Apr 10 2018 - 02:15:16 EST


syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at xattr_getsecurity() [1],
for cap_inode_getsecurity() is returning sizeof(struct vfs_cap_data) when
memory allocation failed. Return -ENOMEM if memory allocation failed.
