Subject: mm/memblock.c: reversed logic in memblock_discard()
From: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@oracle.com>
commit 91b540f98872a206ea1c49e4aa6ea8eed0886644 upstream.
In recently introduced memblock_discard() there is a reversed logic bug.
Memory is freed of static array instead of dynamically allocated one.
