__netdev_alloc_skb() return NULl when it fails. skb_put() further uses
it even when the allocation fails, leading to NULL pointer dereference.
The fix inserts a check for the return value of __netdev_alloc_skb().

Jian-Hong reported it works if turn off ASPM with module parameter aspm=0.
In order to fix this problem kindly, this commit don't turn off aspm but
enlarge ASPM L1 latency to 7.

The RTL8822BE, an 802.11ac wireless network card, is now appearing in
new computers. Its driver is being placed in staging to reduce the time
that users of this new card will have access to in-kernel drivers.
This commit enables building of the new driver. For this version, all
routines are built into a single module r8822be. When this driver is
moved to the wireless tree, halmac, phydm, and rtl8822be will become
new modules.
