[PATCH] lib: Check for the NULL pointer after calling malloc

[835703180@qq.com]

From: Shiqi Liu <835703180@qq.com>

As the possible failure of the malloc(), the not_checked and
checked could be NULL pointer.
Therefore, it should be better to check it in order to avoid
the dereference of the NULL pointer.

Fixes: fa8054c8c88 ("lib/node: add ethdev control")
