Subject: [PATCH] drivers/macintosh: Correct potential double free

From: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk>

The conditionals were testing different values, but then all freeing the
same one, which could result in a double free.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression x,e;
identifier f;
iterator I;
statement S;
@@

*kfree(x);
... when != &x
    when != x = e
    when != I(x,...) S
*x
// </smpl>
