In case of failure we also need to unlink and free match. I

In the function fanout_add add spin_lock to protect po-> running and po->
fanout,

then whether it should be in the function fanout_release also add spin_lock
protection ?

po->bind_lock is held when registering and unregistering the
protocol hook. fanout_release does access po->running or
prot_hook.

whoops. does *not* access.
