The allocation failure check for nhg->spare is currently checking
the pointer nhg rather than nhg->spare which is never false. Fix
this by checking nhg->spare instead.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Logically dead code")

Wait - that should be targeted at -net, that's where the fixes went.
And the fixes tag is wrong, nhg->spare was very recently added by:

Up to you, it will go to the same stable releases as that fix used the same
Fixes tag, so it's really not an issue.
