The rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_fast() function inserts an object into
the hashtable.  If the object was already present in the table it
returns a pointer to the original object.  If the object wasn't there
it returns NULL.  If there was an allocation error or some other kind
of failure, it returns an error pointer.

This caller needs to check for error pointers to avoid an error pointer
dereference.  Add the check.

Agree with the need to check IS_ERR, but error flow is missing here.
Need to free the previously allocated IDA and node.
:/  Yeah.  Sorry...  I'll resend.
