ipack: ipoctal: fix missing allocation-failure check

commit 445c8132727728dc297492a7d9fc074af3e94ba3 upstream.

Add the missing error handling when allocating the transmit buffer to
avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer in write() should the allocation
ever fail.

Fixes: ba4dc61fe8c5 ("Staging: ipack: add support for IP-OCTAL mezzanine board")
