true. here is the patch I made to fix this.

Patrick, thanks

commit 76c53bb2e6ac2ff6b8426c9b22c67cde1ae5ac07
Author: Samir Bellabes <sam@...ack.fr>

    snet: avoid unnecessary checks by fixing initialisation for verdict and event
    
    checking if snet_evh and snet_vdh are NULL is unnecessary if the initalisations
    are sucessfull.
    
    Noticed by Patrick McHardy <kaber@...sh.net>
