[SECURITY PATCH 018/117] net/net: Fix possible dereference to of a NULL pointer

[Daniel Kiper]

From: Darren Kenny <darren.kenny@oracle.com>

It is always possible that grub_zalloc() could fail, so we should check for
a NULL return. Otherwise we run the risk of dereferencing a NULL pointer.

Fixes: CID 296221
