Subject: [PATCH 5.4 41/60] arm64: vdso: dont free unallocated pages

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@....com>

commit 9cc3d0c6915aee5140f8335d41bbc3ff1b79aa4e upstream.

The aarch32_vdso_pages[] array never has entries allocated in the C_VVAR
or C_VDSO slots, and as the array is zero initialized these contain
NULL.

However in __aarch32_alloc_vdso_pages() when
aarch32_alloc_kuser_vdso_page() fails we attempt to free the page whose
struct page is at NULL, which is obviously nonsensical.

This patch removes the erroneous page freeing.

Fixes: 7c1deeeb0130 ("arm64: compat: VDSO setup for compat layer")
