Subject: [PATCH v3] x86/xen: Add some null pointer checking to smp.c

kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory
which can be NULL upon failure. Ensure the allocation was successful
by checking the pointer validity.

Changes in v3:
- Remove rc initialization
- Simply error paths by adding a new label 'fail_mem'
Changes in v2:
- Initial rc and return errno in error paths

I became curious if you would like to simplify further source code places.

Would you like to add a blank line after such a statement?

Please compare with your subsequent suggestion.

How do you think about to refer to the function name
instead of the file name in the patch subject?

Is it currently preferred to start labels in the first text column?

The main goal is to assign a errno to rc. So use 'fail_mem is good to
understand.

Just the same as the old one. I could fix it if necessary.

This function hasn't changed in years, so it's OK for now.

Sure, I could do it in next patch.

You responded with information which can fit to the patch body.

How do you think about consequences for a subject variant like the following?

x86/xen: Add some null pointer checks in xen_smp_intr_init()
