Subject: [PATCH] drivers: nvdimm: fix dereference after free

'nd_pmu->pmu.attr_groups' is dereferenced in function
'nvdimm_pmu_free_hotplug_memory' call after it has been freed. Because in
function 'nvdimm_pmu_free_hotplug_memory' memory pointed by the fields of
'nd_pmu->pmu.attr_groups' is deallocated it is necessary to call 'kfree'
after 'nvdimm_pmu_free_hotplug_memory'.
