From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

If the kzalloc of the entries queue q fails a null pointer dereference
occurs when accessing q->capacity and q->lock.  Add a kzalloc failure
check and handle the null return case in the calling function
event_device_add.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
Fixes: 75589e37d1dc ("platform/chrome: wilco_ec: Add circular buffer as event queue")
