[PATCH] ShellPkg/UefiShellLib: Set input pointer parameter to null if failure

[PATCH] ShellPkg/UefiShellLib: Set input pointer parameter to null if failure

[Gao, Zhichao]

From: Bret Barkelew <Bret.Barkelew@microsoft.com>

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1906

While failed to allocate memory to save the response,
set the input/output parameter 'Response'(VOID **) to
NULL to indicate the failure not only depend on the
returned status.
