Btw, the original code looks seems pretty awful. "rar_handle" is
a kernel pointer that we get from user space. It is a u32 type so
this won't work under a 64 bit OS.
These allocations get added to a list. Maybe we should free them
all? It's hard to say. There is only one place that calls this
function, and it ignores the return value.
