    ipv4/fib_hash.c: fix NULL dereference
    
    Unless I miss a guaranteed relation between between "f" and
    "new_fa->fa_info" this patch is required for fixing a NULL dereference
    introduced by commit a6501e080c318f8d4467679d17807f42b3a33cd5 ("[IPV4]
    FIB_HASH: Reduce memory needs and speedup lookups") and spotted by the
    Coverity checker.
    
    Eric Dumazet says:
    
        Hum, you are right, kmem_cache_free() doesnt allow a NULL
        object, like kfree() does.
