Subject: [PATCH v2] xfrm: ipcomp: Update ipcomp_scratches with NULL if alloc fails

Currently if ipcomp_alloc_scratches() fails to allocate memory
ipcomp_scratches holds obsolete address. So when we try to free the
percpu scratches using ipcomp_free_scratches() it tries to vfree non
existent vm area. Described below:

static void * __percpu *ipcomp_alloc_scratches(void)
{
	...
	scratches = alloc_percpu(void *);
        if (!scratches)
                return NULL;
ipcomp_scratches does not know about this allocation failure.
Therefore holding the old obsolete address.
        ...
}

So when we free,

static void ipcomp_free_scratches(void)
{
	...

        scratches = ipcomp_scratches;
Receiving obsolete addresses from ipcomp_scratches
        
	if (!scratches)
                return;

        for_each_possible_cpu(i)
               vfree(*per_cpu_ptr(scratches, i));
Trying to free non existent page, causing warning.

        ...
}

Fix this breakage by updating ipcomp_scratches with NULL if
the above mentioned allocation fails.
