I was wondering about that too. Seems like it would be hard to hit
reproduceably though: one of the later allocations would have to fail,
then later you'd have to create another namespace and this time have a
later module's init fail.

This is the patch I have, which also fixes a (probably less important)
failure to free the slab cache.

nfsd: fix cleanup of nfsd_reply_cache_init on failure

Make sure everything is cleaned up on failure.

Especially important for the shrinker, which will otherwise eventually
be freed while still referred to by global data structures.
