drivers/platform/x86/amilo-rfkill.c::amilo_rfkill_probe() avoid NULL deref
In drivers/platform/x86/amilo-rfkill.c::amilo_rfkill_probe() the call
to dmi_first_match() may fail and return NULL. If it does return NULL,
then we'll be dereferencing a NULL pointer in the rfkill_alloc() call
where we do 'system_id->driver_data' --> KABOOM!
Avoid that problem by testing for a NULL return value from
dmi_first_match() and bailing out if it fails.
I was a bit uncertain about what to return in the failure case. In the
end I settled for -ENXIO as the most logical error to return.
