[PATCH] mtd: fix null pointer deference when kzalloc returns null

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

static analysis by smatch caught the following error:

drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of.c:135 of_get_probes()
   error: potential null dereference 'res'.  (kzalloc returns null)

Check for failed kzalloc and return -ENOMEM in of_flash_probe if
this occurs.
