Michael Ellerman ffd1cebe24 drivers/macintosh: Fix memleak in windfarm_pm112 driver
commit 93900337b9ac2f4eca427eff6d187be2dc3b5551 upstream.

create_cpu_loop() calls smu_sat_get_sdb_partition() which does
kmalloc() and returns the allocated buffer. In fact it's called twice,
and neither buffer is freed.

This results in a memory leak as reported by Erhard:
  unreferenced object 0xc00000047081f840 (size 32):
    comm "kwindfarm", pid 203, jiffies 4294880630 (age 5552.877s)

Fix it by rearranging the logic so we deal with each buffer
separately, which then makes it easy to free the buffer once we're
done with it.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
