Thanks! As Maíra points out, the added kunit_kfree() call isn't
strictly necessary, though it definitely doesn't hurt (and it's
probably a nice thing to free memory early if we're already in a
pretty dire memory situation). So I think it's an improvement.

The IS_ERR check is definitely a fix, though.
