When alloc_cpumask_var_node() fails for a certain cpu, there might be some
allocated cpumasks for percpu cpu_kick_mask. We should free these cpumasks
or memoryleak will occur.
Fixes: baff59ccdc65 ("KVM: Pre-allocate cpumasks for kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except()")

Unless you hear otherwise, it will make its way to kvm/queue "soon".
Note, the commit IDs are not guaranteed to be stable.

Hmm, I was going to merge these memory leak fixes for 6.0, but no big
deal since they're mostly theoretical anyway.

Take them, I wasn't sure and was anticipating possibly dropping them anyways. I
can easily adjust, and was deliberately a little greedy for these technically-a-bug
memory leaks so that we would't miss them by thinking the other would grab 'em.
