David, this patch looks applicable for the stable releases.

>>From Neal Cardwell <[email-masked]>

inet_getpeer_v4() can return NULL under OOM conditions, and while
inet_peer_xrlim_allow() is OK with a NULL peer, inet_putpeer() will
crash.

This code path now uses the same idiom as the others from:
1d861aa4b3fb08822055345f480850205ffe6170 ("inet: Minimize use of
cached route inetpeer.").
