[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.9 001/147] powerpc/vmemmap: Fix memory leak with vmemmap list allocation failures.

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar at linux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit ccaea15296f9773abd43aaa17ee4b88848e4a505 ]

If we fail to allocate vmemmap list, we don't keep track of allocated
vmemmap block buf. Hence on section deactivate we skip vmemmap block
buf free. This results in memory leak.
