I am not sure whether this has been fixed in another way, but current 
linux-next still has

	void vde_init_libstuff(struct vde_data *vpri, struct vde_init *init)
	{
	        struct vde_open_args *args;
	
	        vpri->args = kmalloc(sizeof(struct vde_open_args), UM_GFP_KERNEL);

so the patch hasn't been at least applied in the form it has been 
submitted.
