Hi, thanks for your review.
if twsk_prot_init failed, (kasprintf, or slab alloc), we will invoke
the tw_prot_cleanup() to clean up
the sources allocated.
1. kfree(twsk_prot->twsk_slab_name); // if name is NULL, kfree() will
return directly
2. kmem_cache_destroy(twsk_prot->twsk_slab); // if slab is NULL,
kmem_cache_destroy() will return directly too.
so we don't care what err in twsk_prot_init().

and req_prot_cleanup() will clean up all sources allocated for req_prot_init().
