commit 3bef735ad7b7d987069181e7b58588043cbd1509 upstream.

After commit fdc85222d58e ("kernfs: kvmalloc xattr value instead of
kmalloc"), simple xattr entry is allocated with kvmalloc() instead of
kmalloc(), so we should release it with kvfree() instead of kfree().

Fixes: fdc85222d58e ("kernfs: kvmalloc xattr value instead of kmalloc")
