When a context is created via the kernel API, ctx->mapping is allocated within the kernel and thus needs to be freed when the context is freed. reclaim_ctx() attempts to do this for contexts with the ctx->kernelapi flag set, but afu_release() (which can be called from the kernel API through cxl_fd_release()) sets ctx->mapping to NULL before calling cxl_context_free() to free the context.
Add a check to afu_release() so that the mappings in contexts created via the kernel API are left alone so reclaim_ctx() can free them. Reported-by: Matthew R.
