4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit ee9397a6fb9bc4e52677f5e33eed4abee0f515e6 upstream. If rb->aux_refcount is decremented to zero before rb->refcount, __rb_free_aux() may be called twice resulting in a double free of rb->aux_pages. Fix this by adding a check to __rb_free_aux().
