srcu: Take early exit on memory-allocation failure
mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.11-rc1 commit 50edb988 category: bugfix bugzilla: 176017 CVE: NA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- It turns out that init_srcu_struct() can be invoked from usermode tasks, and that fatal signals received by these tasks can cause memory-allocation failures. These failures are not handled well by init_srcu_struct(), so much so that NULL pointer dereferences can result. This commit therefore causes init_srcu_struct() to take an early exit upon detection of memory-allocation failure.
