yup the restructured cleanup would be the better way to go

rather than making this two patches I guess it would be the
best to just skip the intermediate kzalloc only cleanup -
atleast I see little value in that intermediat step - so
could you take care of the kzalloc() in your refactoring 
please ?

thx!
