Subject: [PATCH net-next 7/9] net: ipmr: remove SLAB_PANIC

From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@...ulusnetworks.com>

It's not necessary to panic upon allocation failure, returning an error
at that point is okay because user-space won't be able to use any of the
ops since they didn't get registered and the default table is null.
