From: Jane Chu <jane.chu@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/memory-failure.c clean up around tk pre-allocation add_to_kill() expects the first 'tk' to be pre-allocated, it makes subsequent allocations on need basis, this makes the code a bit difficult to read. Move all the allocation internal to add_to_kill() and drop the **tk argument.
