It would be cleaner to not add the extra label, and just do a
trace_array_put() in the if statement.

Instead of adding the complex if statement, do this:


	int ret = -ENOMEM;

	[..]

	if (!m)
		goto out;

And then after the if statements:

	ret = 0;

The rest looks good. Although, we may be rewriting all this code because
there still exists some races. See the email threads between Oleg and
Masami.
