Pointer on the memory allocated by 'alloc_progmem()' is stored in
'v->load_addr'. So this is this memory that should be freed by
'release_progmem()'.
'release_progmem()' is only a call to 'kfree()'.
With the current code, there is both a double free and a memory leak.
Fix it by passing the correct pointer to 'release_progmem()'.

Un-tested
The 'if (v->load_addr)' looks also redundant, but, well, the code is old
and I feel lazy tonight to send another patch for only that.
