The provided-buffer validation fix deferred freeing a cached iovec
until validation completed. However, the deferred free uses arg->iovs.
After a grow, that points to the newly allocated array. Without a grow,
it points to the cached array that remains in use.
This leaves the caller with a dangling iovec in both cases and can
result in repeated frees. Only free org_iovs when arg->iovs actually
replaced it.
