Subject: [PATCH 4.12 11/22] mm: kvfree the swap cluster info if the swap file is unsatisfactory

4.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@...cle.com>

commit 8606a1a94da5c4e49c0fb28af62d2e75c6747716 upstream.

If initializing a small swap file fails because the swap file has a
problem (holes, etc.) then we need to free the cluster info as part of
cleanup.  Unfortunately a previous patch changed the code to use kvzalloc
but did not change all the vfree calls to use kvfree.

Found by running generic/357 from xfstests.
