It would be nedalloc() wrapped inside the "die if we cannot
allocate, possibly after releasing resources held in various caches"
xmalloc() wrapper.  So (1) either xmalloc or malloc would end up
eventually calling nedalloc that can be freed with nedfree, so from
that point of view either can be used without upsetting "free()",
and (2) we should use xmalloc() here because we care about
consistent OOM behaviour throughout the system.

Thanks.
