[PATCH] fix possible NULL ptr deref in forcedeth

There seems to be a possible NULL pointer deref bug in
drivers/net/forcedeth.c::nv_loopback_test().  If dev_alloc_skb() fails, the
next line will call skb_put() with a NULL first argument which it'll then
try to deref - kaboom: a NULL pointer deref.  Found by coverity (#1337).
