This condition should now check if ipa->enabled

And the error handling patch needs to free it, in case it was something
else that didn't get allocated?

Frankly I have gotten mass-NULL-checks wrong more than once myself so
I'd steer clear of those, they are strangely error prone.

this error message should not be here (patch 5 adds it I think)
memory allocation failures produce a splat, no need to print errors
