[patch] x86/mm: Free sme_early_buffer after init
From: David Rientjes
Date: Wed Jul 10 2019 - 16:19:40 EST
We want to be able to clear the contents of sme_early_buffer after
__sme_early_enc_dec() because it is used to move encrypted and decrypted
data, but since __sme_early_enc_dec() is __init we can simply free this
buffer after init.
This saves a page that is otherwise unreferenced after init.
