drivers/video: add kmalloc NULL tests
Check that the result of kmalloc is not NULL before passing it to other
functions.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

// <smpl>

expression *x;
identifier f;
constant char *C;

x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...);

kfree(x)

f(...,C,...,x,...)

*f(...,x,...)
