Test the just-allocated value for NULL rather than some other value.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression x,y;
statement S;
@@

x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...);
(
if ((x) == NULL) S
|
if (
-   y
+   x
       == NULL)
 S
)
// </smpl>

Thanks Julia!

I added Christian Pellegrin who is the author of this driver in CC.

An obvious copy/paste error :-)

yes, exactly that: copy & paste is among the sweetest evils out there.
I'll try the semantic checker myself next time. Thanks!
