Could be named cpu_rmap_free()
(and alloc_cpu_rmap() should be renamed as cpu_rmap_alloc()

It seems this function could be static, and not exported.

I personally don't like kref abstraction, especially when used without
wrapper :
kref_put(&rmap->refcount, reclaim_cpu_rmap);
Its cleaner to have instead :
cpu_rmap_put(rmap);
