In the function mtd_otp_size() a buffer is allocated by calling
kmalloc() and a pointer to the buffer is stored in a variable 'info'.
The pointer 'info' may then be incremented depending on the length
returned from mtd_get_user/fact_prot_info(). If 'info' is incremented,
when kfree() is called to free the buffer the above panic occurs because
we are no longer passing the original address of the buffer allocated.
Fix this by indexing through the buffer allocated to avoid incrementing
the pointer.

uhm.. yes of course. Two fixes for this function. Not my best day :/

I'm wondering why CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON doesn't catch this, whereas
slub_debug=f (or fzpu) as commandline parameter works as expected.
