[PATCH 3.12 048/142] Drivers: hv: avoid vfree() on crash

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit a9f61ca793becabdefab03b77568d6c6f8c1bc79 upstream.

When we crash from NMI context (e.g. after NMI injection from host when
'sysctl -w kernel.unknown_nmi_panic=1' is set) we hit

    kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:1530!

as vfree() is denied. While the issue could be solved with in_nmi() check
instead I opted for skipping vfree on all sorts of crashes to reduce the
amount of work which can cause consequent crashes. We don't really need to
free anything on crash.

[js] no tsc and kexec in 3.12 yet
