Commit [3469adb3: fix potential NULL pointer dereference] introduced
a check of msg_ind allocation, but omitted allocation of msg_ind->msg.
Moreover, it introduced two if statements, which looked a bit clunky.

This commit moves allocation code outside of the critical section so
there's no need to dance around mutex_unlock, and adds the missing
allocation check.
