The patch titled
     Subject: lib/test_hmm: use kvfree() to free kvcalloc() allocations
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     lib-test_hmm-use-kvfree-to-free-kvcalloc-allocations.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/lib-test_hmm-use-kvfree-to-free-kvcalloc-allocations.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress

Coccinelle scripts/coccinelle/api/kfree_mismatch.cocci reports
the following warnings:

  lib/test_hmm.c:1256:15-16: WARNING kvmalloc is used to allocate this memory at line 1191
  lib/test_hmm.c:1257:15-16: WARNING kvmalloc is used to allocate this memory at line 1196

Fix this by replacing kfree() with kvfree() to correctly handle the
vmalloc() fallback path of kvcalloc().
