sashiko reports:
 looking at ebtables table
 translation, could a sparse cpu_possible_mask lead to an uninitialized pointer
 free?

 If cpu_possible_mask is sparse (for example, CPU 0 and CPU 2 are possible,
 but CPU 1 is not), the allocation loop skips CPU 1. If vmalloc_node() fails at
 CPU 2, the cleanup loop will blindly decrement and call vfree() on
 newinfo->chainstack[1].

Not a real-world bug, such allocation isn't expected to fail
in the first place.
