Subject: [PATCH] vga: Fix mem leaks in vga_arb_write()

We don't always free the memory allocated to 'kbuf' - make sure we do
so.
Also, while I was there anyway, remove a unneeded kfree call and instead 
just set ret_val and fall through to the 'done' label. I also made a small 
trivial change to a comment and a small whitespace correction in an 
assignment.
