[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] app/testpmd: fix dereference null return valiue

[Jasvinder Singh]

Malloc() function might return NULL due to insufficient space. Therefore,
check for handling memory allocation failure is added.

Coverity issue: 257039
Fixes: e63b50162aa3 ("app/testpmd: clean metering and policing commands")
