NAK. The above check is necessary.

pdbg_init->compress_buff may be NULL when Zlib is unavailable or when
pdbg_init->compress_buff allocation fails, in which case we ignore error
and continue without compression. Check is necessary before calling
vfree().

The above change is wrong. NAK.

If the call to link->tid_map = kvcalloc() above fails, it still
goes ahead and calls kvfree(link->tid_map) even for failed cases, which is
wrong. Check is necessary before calling kvfree().
