There was a back port of upstream 4.4 stable commit 20cbe9a3aa2e341824da57ce0ac6d52cbffaa570
to Xenial which failed remove a kfree() from release_ds_buffer().
This commit does only that. It removes this extra kfree(). This left over
kfree was causing a kernel trace on many systems as reported in the bug.
This commit removes the kfree() like it should have been in the original commit.
