4.2.8-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche at sandisk.com>

commit f0a8afecb29ad0005e7e946228a0ef5422058b85 upstream.

strsep() modifies its first argument. Make the pointer passed to kfree()
match the return value of kmalloc().

Fixes: 229d4f112fd6 (commit "target_core_alua: Referrals configfs integration")
