4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ben Hutchings <b...@decadent.org.uk>
commit ee9397a6fb9bc4e52677f5e33eed4abee0f515e6 upstream.
If rb->aux_refcount is decremented to zero before rb->refcount,
__rb_free_aux() may be called twice resulting in a double free of
rb->aux_pages. Fix this by adding a check to __rb_free_aux().
