4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Marc Dietrich <[email protected]> commit 68fae2f3df455f53d0dfe33483a49020b3b758f3 upstream. This basicly reverts commit e534f3e9 (staging:nvec: Introduce the use of the managed version of kzalloc). Serio struct should never by managed because it is refcounted. Doing so will lead to a double free oops on module remove.
