Yes that cleanup inside __gen8_alloc_page_tables is ok.

As I understand after

pt_pages[i] = __gen8_alloc_page_tables();

we have a kcalloc()'d buffer in pt_pages[i]. Each entry of this buffer
points to an alloc_page()'d page.

Then on error at unwind_out for 0..i-1 we call gen8_free_page_tables()
which will do only a  __free_pages() on each of the above alloc_page'd
entry. But then we still have the kcalloc'd buffer, which I can't see
being freed anywhere.
