kernel/relay.c: handle alloc_percpu returning NULL in relay_open
alloc_percpu() may return NULL, which means chan->buf may be set to NULL. In that case, when we do *per_cpu_ptr(chan->buf, ...), we dereference an invalid pointer: BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access at 0x7dae0000 Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000003f3fec ... NIP relay_open+0x29c/0x600 LR relay_open+0x270/0x600 Call Trace: relay_open+0x264/0x600 (unreliable) __blk_trace_setup+0x254/0x600 blk_trace_setup+0x68/0xa0 sg_ioctl+0x7bc/0x2e80 do_vfs_ioctl+0x13c/0x1300 ksys_ioctl+0x94/0x130 sys_ioctl+0x48/0xb0 system_call+0x5c/0x68 Check if alloc_percpu returns NULL. This was found by syzkaller both on x86 and powerpc, and the reproducer it found on powerpc is capable of hitting the issue as an unprivileged user.
