Subject: [PATCH RESEND] powerpc/rtas_flash: Free kmem upon module exit

From: Vasant Hegde <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:18:09 +0530

Memory allocated to flash_block_list in rtas_flash_write
is not freed during module exit. We hit below call trace
if we unload rtas_flash module after loading new firmware
image and before rebooting the system.
