[PATCH v2] lag_conf: Added pointer check and continue

From: Denis Arefev
Date: Wed Nov 16 2022 - 03:14:45 EST


Return value of a function 'kmalloc_array' is dereferenced at
lag_conf.c:347 without checking for null,
but it is usually checked for this function.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
