Subject: driver/base/node,c: remove unnecessary kfree of node struct from
unregister_one_node
Commit 92d585ef067d ("numa: fix NULL pointer access and memory leak in
unregister_one_node()") added kfree() of node struct in
unregister_one_node(). But node struct is freed by node_device_release()
which is called in unregister_node(). So by adding the kfree(), node
struct is freed two times.
While hot removing memory, the commit leads the following BUG_ON():
kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3346!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP

This patch removes unnecessary kfree() from unregister_one_node().
