tree wide: use kvfree() than conditional kfree()/vfree()
There are many locations that do
if (memory_was_allocated_by_vmalloc)
vfree(ptr);
else
kfree(ptr);
but kvfree() can handle both kmalloc()ed memory and vmalloc()ed memory
using is_vmalloc_addr(). Unless callers have special reasons, we can
replace this branch with kvfree(). Please check and reply if you found
problems.
