I think this just makes slhc_init() fail more easily, but the bug was
pre-existing.

The *real* source of the bug seems to be

4ab42d78e37a ("ppp, slip: Validate VJ compression slot parameters
completely")

from back in 2015.

We have (in drivers/net/slip/slip.c: sl_alloc_bufs())

slcomp = slhc_init(16, 16);
if (IS_ERR(slcomp))
goto err_exit;
....
err_exit:
#ifdef SL_INCLUDE_CSLIP
kfree(cbuff);
slhc_free(slcomp);
#endif

so we do "slhc_free()" on an error pointer, which results in

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address = fffffffffffffff4

and the fix might be something like the appended whitespace-damaged
trivial one-liner: just make slhc_free() silently ignore an error
pointer, to match the slhc_init() return behavior.

Ben? David?
