Akhilesh Patil a765b393b9 fwctl/mlx5: Fix memory alloc/free in mlx5ctl_fw_rpc() 
[ Upstream commit 7f059e4732 ]

Use kvfree() to free memory allocated by kvzalloc() instead of kfree().
Avoid potential memory management issue considering kvzalloc() can
internally choose to use either kmalloc() or vmalloc() based on memory
request and current system memory state. Hence, use more appropriate
kvfree() which automatically determines correct free method to avoid
potential hard to debug memory issues.  Fix this issue discovered by
running spatch static analysis tool using coccinelle script -
scripts/coccinelle/api/kfree_mismatch.cocci

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
