No.  They could be converted, but kfree() is *not* the right
destructor for that thing.  This is a good example of the
reasons why __cleanup should not be used blindly - this
"oh, we'll just return, this object will be taken care of
automagically" would better really take care of the object.
Look for goto error_eventfd; in there...
