4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>
An error from kaiser_add_mapping() here is not at all likely, but
Eric Biggers rightly points out that __free_ldt_struct() relies on
new_ldt->size being initialized: move that up.
