The following command will cause ip_fragmentation app fail: examples/ip_fragmentation/build/ip_fragmentation -c 0x40002 -n 4 -- -p 0x3 -q 2 while setting core mask to 0x2 or 0x40000 will not cause this issue.

This is the behavior described in the API documentation in the header file. These functions were returning a pointer to the existing object in that case, but it is a problem as the caller did not know if the object had to be freed or not. Doing this change also makes the lpm API more consistent with the other APIs (mempool, rings, ...).
