Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Resubmit mtd: mtdoops: fix for a potential memory leak in mtdoops_notify_remove

we are allocating cxt->oops_page_used using vmalloc in mtdoops_notify_add for
every mtd_info addition but not freeing it in mtdoops_notify_remove. Also care is
taken so that we do not free the same pointer again in module remove.
