4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuzn...@redhat.com>
commit a9f61ca793becabdefab03b77568d6c6f8c1bc79 upstream.
When we crash from NMI context (e.g. after NMI injection from host when
'sysctl -w kernel.unknown_nmi_panic=1' is set) we hit
kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:1530!
as vfree() is denied. While the issue could be solved with in_nmi() check
instead I opted for skipping vfree on all sorts of crashes to reduce the
amount of work which can cause consequent crashes. We don't really need to
free anything on crash.
