Dan Carpenter reported that Smatch found an instance where a pointer which had previously been assumed could be null (as indicated by a null check) was later dereferenced without a similar check. In practice this doesn't lead to a problem because currently the pointers used are all non-null. Nevertheless this patch addresses the reported problem. In addition, I spotted another bug that arose in the same commit. When the command to initialize a routing table memory region was added, the number of entries computed for the non-hashed table was wrong (it ended up being a Boolean rather than the count intended). This bug is fixed here as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
