Subject: [91/98] KVM: x86: Fix probable memory leak of vcpu->arch.mce_banks

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Wei Yongjun <yjwei@...fujitsu.com>

commit 36cb93fd6b6bf7e9163a69a8bf20207aed5fea44 upstream.

vcpu->arch.mce_banks is malloc in kvm_arch_vcpu_init(), but
never free in any place, this may cause memory leak. So this
patch fixed to free it in kvm_arch_vcpu_uninit().
