From: Hou Tao <houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx> bpf_mem_cache_alloc_flags() may call __alloc() directly when there is no free object in free list, but it doesn't initialize the allocation hint for the returned pointer. It may lead to bad memory dereference when freeing the pointer, so fix it by initializing the allocation hint. Fixes: 822fb26bdb55 ("bpf: Add a hint to allocated objects.")
