[PATCH] bpf: don't kfree an uninitialized im_node

From: Colin King
Date: Tue Jan 24 2017 - 09:17:46 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There are some error exit paths to the label 'out' that end up
kfree'ing an uninitialized im_node. Fix this by inititializing
im_node to NULL to avoid kfree'ing a garbage address.

Issue found by CoverityScan, CID#1398022 ("Uninitialized pointer read")
