I am not sure whether this has been fixed in another way, but current
linux-next still has

void vde_init_libstuff(struct vde_data *vpri, struct vde_init *init)
{
struct vde_open_args *args;

vpri->args = kmalloc(sizeof(struct vde_open_args), UM_GFP_KERNEL);

so the patch hasn't been at least applied in the form it has been
submitted.
