This way, slhc_free() accepts what slhc_init() returns, whether that is
an error or not.
In particular, the pattern in sl_alloc_bufs() is
slcomp = slhc_init(16, 16);
...
slhc_free(slcomp);
for the error handling path, and rather than complicate that code, just
make it ok to always free what was returned by the init function.
That's what the code used to do before commit 4ab42d78e3 ("ppp, slip:
Validate VJ compression slot parameters completely") when slhc_init()
just returned NULL for the error case, with no actual indication of the
details of the error.

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.
