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

------------------

From: Hugh Dickins <hu...@google.com>


An error from kaiser_add_mapping() here is not at all likely, but
Eric Biggers rightly points out that __free_ldt_struct() relies on
new_ldt->size being initialized: move that up.
