arch/alpha/kernel: 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:

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

x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...);
... when != x == NULL

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

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