Subject: error path in __ip_vs_init()

Line 1880 cannot become true because net_generic() cannot return NULL.
Redundant check?

include/net/netns/generic.h:
 34 static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id)
 35 {
 36         struct net_generic *ng;
 37         void *ptr;
 38 
 39         rcu_read_lock();
 40         ng = rcu_dereference(net->gen);
 41         BUG_ON(id == 0 || id > ng->len);
 42         ptr = ng->ptr[id - 1];
 43         rcu_read_unlock();
 44 
 45         BUG_ON(!ptr);
 46         return ptr;
 47 }

net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_core.c:
1875 static int __net_init __ip_vs_init(struct net *net)
1876 {
1877         struct netns_ipvs *ipvs;
1878 
1879         ipvs = net_generic(net, ip_vs_net_id);
1880         if (ipvs == NULL)
1881                 return -ENOMEM;
