mtd: check parts pointer before using it
The code has the check for parts but it called after kmemdup, kmemdup(parts, sizeof(*parts) * nr_parts,...) if (!parts) return -ENOMEM In fact, we need check parts before safely using it. and we also need check the real_parts to make sure kmemdup allocation sucessfully.
