Subject: [PATCH v3] xfrm: Update ipcomp_scratches with NULL if not allocated
Date:   Thu,  1 Sep 2022 10:03:07 +0600

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;
Assigning 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: trying to vfree
existent vm area.
        ...
}


Fix this breakage by: 
(1) Update ipcomp_scratches with NULL if the above mentioned 
allocation fails.
(2) Update ipcomp_scrtches with NULL when scratches is freed
