Hi Dave,

the following patch for 2.6.31 fixes a regression in the xt_quota module
introduced in 2.6.30-rc1, causing a crash when memory allocation fails.

Please apply, thanks.

    netfilter: xt_quota: fix wrong return value (error case)
    
    Success was indicated on a memory allocation failure, thereby causing
    a crash due to a later NULL deref.
    (Affects v2.6.30-rc1 up to here.)
