While at it, also looks like commit
25d8999780f8c1f53928f4a24a09c01550423109 could also be added to stables.
But while looking at it, while the patch itself is correct, I noted that
there is a possibility of double free: if either of the
p->chunks[p->chunk_ib_idx].kpage[] items are non NULL, we will free it in
radeon_cs_parser_init and also when calling one of the fini functions
(radeon_cs_parser_fini or r600_cs_parser_fini). So either we need to set
kpage[n] to NULL after kfree, or just return the error.
