    Linux: Fix crash when the afs root volume is not found
    
    Commit 602130f1de65eefeb4e31e114070d544eb9edd40 changed the allocation of the
    backing device info to directly use the kernel memory allocator. Unfortunately,
    one of the deallocations was not converted to the kernel memory deallocator
    in the backport to the 1.6.x branch.
    
    The code path is triggered when the afs root volume is not found (for example,
    not -dynroot and the root.afs volume is not available.) This causes the system
    to crash instead of just failing to mount /afs.
    
    This is a 1.6.x change only. This bug was introduced in version 1.6.14.1.
