[PATCH] clk: zynq: Prevent null pointer dereference caused by kmalloc failure

The kmalloc in zynq_clk_setup will return null if the
physical memory has run out. As a result, if we use
snprintf to write data to the null address, the null
pointer dereference bug will happen.

The required memory is only 11 bytes, so this patch
adds a "__GFP_NOFAIL" flag in kmalloc in order that
the kmalloc will never return with failure.
