Subject: [PATCH] mm,ima,kexec,of: use memblock_free_late from
ima_free_kexec_buffer
The code calling ima_free_kexec_buffer runs long after the memblock
allocator has already been torn down, potentially resulting in a use
after free in memblock_isolate_range.
With KASAN or KFENCE, this use after free will result in a BUG
from the idle task, and a subsequent kernel panic.
Switch ima_free_kexec_buffer over to memblock_free_late to avoid
that issue.
