Subject: staging: lustre: ptlrpc: kfree used instead of kvfree

From: Nadav Amit <[email protected]>

commit c3eec59659cf25916647d2178c541302bb4822ad upstream.

rq_reqbuf is allocated using kvmalloc() but released in one occasion using kfree() instead of kvfree().

The issue was found using grep based on a similar bug.
