__octep_oq_process_rx() is called during NAPI polling by the driver and
calls build_skb() which may return NULL as skb pointer in case of memory
allocation error. This pointer is dereferenced later without checking for
NULL.
In this series, we introduce two helpers to make the fix more readable and
avoid code duplication. Also we handle build_skb() errors inside
__octep_oq_process_rx() to avoid NULL pointer dereference.
A similar situation is present in the __octep_vf_oq_process_rx() of the
Octeon VF driver. First we want to try the fix on __octep_oq_process_rx().
Compile tested only.
