Coverity reported the following:

*** CID 1487853:  Memory - corruptions  (BAD_FREE)

1822     /*
1823      * We need to bump cycle number for the part of the iclog that is
1824      * written to the start of the log. Watch out for the header magic

If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
