These crashes have occurred about 2300 times in the past 7 days across all versions of Firefox. Fixing them is easy.

This addresses two crashes in the top #75 on 47.0.1.

Make two url-classifier allocations fallible

Review of attachment 8775848 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

LGTM. The first failure is correctly detected upwards as OOM and won't result in a database reset, and the second one is before the old PrefixSet is cleared, so it won't silently disable SafeBrowsing.

Comment 7

[[:philipp]]

the signature is currently causing 0.25% of browser crashes on 49.0b.
could we uplift the patch to 49 in terms of the scope/risk?

Make two url-classifier allocations fallible

Approval Request Comment

[Feature/regressing bug #]: safebrowsing

[User impact if declined]: OOM crashes, currently 0.25% of crashes on beta.

[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: landed on m-c 13 days ago. No specific tests.

[Risks and why]: Very low. Patch is trivial, it just makes two allocations fallible. All callers to the two functions containing those allocations appropriately check for failure, so any OOM should be handled well. 

[String/UUID change made/needed]: none.
