[PATCH v2] ALSA: sound/isa/gus: check the return value of kstrdup()

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.
