The memory allocation failure checking for in and out is currently
checking if the pointers are valid rather than the contents of what
they point to. Hence the null check on failed memory allocations is
incorrect. Fix this by adding the missing indirection in the check.
Also for the default case, just set the *in and *out to null as
these don't have any thing allocated to kfree. Finally remove the
redundant *in and *out check as these have been already done on each
allocation in the case statement.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
