Hi Suman,

I realise that this patch has been accepted.
But I believe there is a double-free problem above
as mcam->counters.bmap may be freed twice.
And mcam->bmap seems to be leaked.

Perhaps the last part of the unwind ladder should be:

free_bmap:
kfree(mcam->bmap);

Double-free flagged by Smatch and Coccinelle.
