Re: [PATCH 1/1] cr: uts: don't deref h after freeing

[Oren Laadan <orenl-eQaUEPhvms7ENvBUuze7eA@public.gmane.org>]

I actually fixed it differently:  I observed that the kernel
constants in question need only be saved once for the entire
checkpoint, rather than per object in which they are used.

So I added a sub-header "ckpt_hdr_constants" to the header that
is filled at checkpoint. Once these values are confirmed at
restart, the remaining code can safely use the kernel constants
directly.

This is fixed in the latest ckpt-v16-dev.
