uuid in add_switch is allocted via kmemdup which can fail. The patch
logs the error in such a scenario.

I don't think it is good idea to continue here since uuid is kind of
needed. Maybe do the same as above (goto out) with a useful error
message along the lines of "cannot allocate memory for switch" or so.

Remember to use tb_switch_put() in that case.
