Re: [PATCH 2/2] net: Fix potential memory leak

To emulate memory allocation fail case, I added code to return
'-ENOMEM' from flow_cache_cpu_prepare(...) even if it could allocate
memory correctly, but did not find panic on my box, maybe the latest
code changed greatly than 2.6.37. :)

To panic the box, you need to leave a NULL pointer somewhere and
dereference it later, when code assumes it cant be NULL ;)
