Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: wmi: Do not mix pages and kmalloc
Mime-version: 1.0

Git-commit: 6fb741076a9fc53355e56dff2e2b46782b3a46d3
Patch-mainline: v4.19-rc1
References: FATE#325842

The probe handler_data was being allocated with __get_free_pages()
for no reason I could find. The error path was using kfree(). Since
other things are happily using kmalloc() in the probe path, switch to
kmalloc() entirely. This fixes the error path mismatch and will avoid
issues with CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN=y.
