From: Hugh Dickins On some architectures, mapping the scatterlist may coalesce entries: if that coalesced list is then used for freeing the pages afterwards, there's a danger that pages may be doubly freed (and others leaked). Fix Power RAID's ipr_free_ucode_buffer by freeing from a separate array beyond the scatterlist.
