[PATCH] alpha: kernel: module: Adding branch statements after allocating memory for kmalloc

[Li kunyu <kunyu@nfschina.com>]

After looking at the process_reloc_for_got function and where it is
called, I decided to use a branch statement to increase the robustness
of the pointer g.

If pointer g allocation fails, when 'chains [i]. next' is executed, it
can avoid crashes caused by wild pointers.
