[PATCH] efi/libstub/x86: Free EFI map buffer in allocate_e820()

From: Lenny Szubowicz
Date: Tue May 05 2020 - 15:00:26 EST


In allocate_e820(), free the EFI map buffer that has been returned
by efi_get_memory_map(). The returned size of the EFI map buffer
is used to allocate an adequately sized e820ext buffer, if it's
needed. But the contents of that EFI map buffer is not used at all
and the local pointer to it is gone on return from allocate_e820().
