Describe what is being, both in the subject line and continuing on in
the full changelog, e.g. "Small Refactoring to kvm_free_memslot" doesn't
provide any clue as to what is being done.  And this is not what I would
describe as refactoring, e.g. verifying the new behavior means tracing
through its impact on __kvm_set_memory_region().

Lastly, this should be sent as a separate patch.  There is no dependency
on the ROE code and if it actually addresses a potential memory leak (I
haven't actually reviewed the code itself) it should go in sooner rather
than later.
