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 = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...);
... when != x == NULL
    when != x != NULL
    when != (x || ...)
(
kfree(x)
|
f(...,C,...,x,...)

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

*x->f
)
// </smpl>
