[PATCH] RDMA/rxe: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference

From: Alex Dewar
Date: Mon Oct 12 2020 - 12:53:22 EST


skb_clone() is called without checking if the returned pointer is NULL
before it is dereferenced. Fix by adding an additional error check.

Fixes: e7ec96fc7932 ("RDMA/rxe: Fix skb lifetime in rxe_rcv_mcast_pkt()")
Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1497804: Null pointer dereferences (NULL_RETURNS)
