[Intel-wired-lan] [next PATCH 01/11] ixgbe: Return error on failure to allocate mac_table

Add a check to make certain mac_table was actually allocated and is not
NULL. If it is NULL return -ENOMEM and allow the probe routine to fail
rather then causing a NULL pointer dereference further down the line.
