If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: John Einar Reitan This reverts commit c97e41076a298dbc4e910c33048e553658388eed, which incorrectly was taken from upstream c0a32fe13cd323ca9420500b16fd69589c9ba91e. The referenced memory leak doesn't exist on the 4.14 stable branch as the new logic of doing the kzalloc hasn't moved to this function. By adding this kfree we actually end up doing double kfree as all callers of smi_add does a kfree on error.
