Subject: [PATCH 4.1 61/65] x86/ldt: fix crash in ldt freeing.

From: Jamie Iles <jamie.iles@...cle.com>

94b1f3e2c4b7 (kaiser: merged update) factored out __free_ldt_struct() to
use vfree/free_page, but in the page allocation case it is actually
allocated with kmalloc so needs to be freed with kfree and not
free_page().
