Why even have the check for NULL then?  The kzalloc() is small enough
to the point where it litterally cannot fail.

This patch is already written, it's way less effort for us to apply it
than it is to debate its worth.  I kind of feel like it's better to just
fix the bugs even when they don't affect real life.  Otherwise it's a
constant debate with bugs if they're worth fixing.

This is a university group and they're looking for bugs to fix.  I'm
like, "I'm drowning in resource leak warnings and I don't even look at
them any more because they're basically all trash that no one cares
about."  So I was hoping to maybe clean up the trash a bit to the point
where we can start caring about the leaks.
