4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com
commit 59b179b48ce2a6076448a44531242ac2b3f6cef2 upstream.
syzbot reported a warning from rfkill_alloc(), and after a while I think that the reason is that it was doing fault injection and the dev_set_name() failed, leaving the name NULL, and we didn't check the return value and got to rfkill_alloc() with a NULL name. Since we really don't want a NULL name, we ought to check the return value.
