From: Ondrej Mosnacek <omosnace@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 6254bd3db316c9ccb3b05caa8b438be63245466f upstream. The code attempts to free the 'new' pointer using kmem_cache_free(), which is wrong because this function isn't responsible of freeing it. Instead, the function should free new->htable and clear the contents of *new (to prevent double-free).
