3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 33ead538f642a33b1d658782a5d14a40b5014d1f upstream.
Commit 92d585ef067d ("numa: fix NULL pointer access and memory
leak in unregister_one_node()") added kfree() of node struct in
unregister_one_node(). But node struct is freed by node_device_release()
which is called in unregister_node(). So by adding the kfree(),
node struct is freed two times.
While hot removing memory, the commit leads the following BUG_ON():
kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3346!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP

This patch removes unnecessary kfree() from unregister_one_node().
