OK. It looks like ipvs_get_service() is the only function with a
potential leak. The other functions that call any of the CHECK_*
macros will just get an 'out_err: return -1'.
I also noticed that CHECK_COMPAT_DEST can be removed. This macro
simply calls CHECK_IPV4, which is also called by CHECK_COMPAT_SVC. I
noticed that CHECK_COMPAT_DEST is only called after CHECK_COMPAT_SVC,
so this macro can be removed entirely. Agree?

I see. Thanks.
