[PATCH 1/1] staging: rtl8192e: Remove unnecessary OOM message

This patch reduces the kernel size by removing error messages that duplicate
the normal OOM message.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr)

@@
identifier f,print,l;
expression e;
constant char[] c;
@@

e = \(kzalloc\|kmalloc\|devm_kzalloc\|devm_kmalloc\)(...);
if (e == NULL) {
  <+...
-  print(...,c,...);
  ... when any
(
  goto l;
|
  return ...;
)
  ...+> }
