Since the commit mentioned below __xdp_reg_mem_model() can return a NULL pointer. This pointer is dereferenced in trace_mem_connect() which leads to segfault. The trace points (mem_connect + mem_disconnect) were put in place to pair connect/disconnect using the IDs. The ID is only assigned if __xdp_reg_mem_model() does not return NULL. That connect trace point is of no use if there is no ID. Skip that connect trace point if xdp_alloc is NULL.
