[PATCH net-next 3/6] net: hip04: Solve the problem of the skb memory allocation failure

The driver will alloc some skb buffer for hareware queue, but without
considering the case of memory allocation failure, when memory is low,
the skb may be null and panic the system, so break the loop when skb is
null and try to alloc the memory again to fix this problem.
