From: Parav Pandit <parav@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 25fa506b70cadb580c1e9cbd836d6417276d4bcd ] root ns is yet another fs core node which is freed using kfree() by tree_put_node(). Rest of the other fs core objects are also allocated using kmalloc variants. However, root ns memory is allocated using kvzalloc(). Hence allocate root ns memory using kzalloc().
