[ Upstream commit 57d38f26d81e4275748b69372f31df545dcd9b71 ]
By directly using kfree() in different places we risk missing one if it is switched to using vfree(), especially if the corresponding vmalloc() is hidden away within a common abstraction.
Oh wait, that's exactly what happened here.
So let's fix this by creating a common abstraction for the free case as well.
