kstrdup() returns NULL when some internal memory errors happen, it is
better to check the return value of it. Otherwise, we may not to be able
to catch some memory errors in time.

Changes in v2:
 - add the proper error handling.
Thanks for the suggestions from Takashi Iwai. In the future, I'll pay 
more attention to what he mentioned.

Thanks, now I applied as is.

BTW, when you look at the code carefully, you'll find that the memory
leaks may occur at the second and the third chunk in your patch. It's
not a fault of this change, but it's a bug in the original code.

Actually there are two issues -- one is about the incorrect return
value from snd_gf1_mem_xalloc() and another is the missing kfree of
block.name.  Will submit two fix patches as a follow up.
