    ms/mm: kvfree the swap cluster info if the swap file is unsatisfactory
    
    If initializing a small swap file fails because the swap file has a
    problem (holes, etc.) then we need to free the cluster info as part of
    cleanup.  Unfortunately a previous patch changed the code to use kvzalloc
    but did not change all the vfree calls to use kvfree.
    
    Found by running generic/357 from xfstests.
