If mbuf allocation failed for whatever reason, we would get a NULL pointer exception in test_table_acl.c:test_pipeline_single_filter test case. We fix this by causing an early break out of the application loop. If we quit the test immediately we would leak any existing allocated mbufs, but by breaking instead, we allow the test to continue and clean up the mbufs already in the pipeline, while still having a test failure as the mbuf counts should not match.
