When the loop encounters a runlist entry with LCN_RL_NOT_MAPPED, the function kvfrees @empty_buf and goes to map_vcn to remap. @empty_buf is not cleared. If ntfs_map_runlist_nolock() fails on re-entry, control jumps to the err label which kvfrees @empty_buf a second time. In the same branch, @ra is left allocated. When the remap succeeds the function falls through the @empty_buf re-allocation and the @ra re-allocation, overwriting the previous @ra pointer and leaking it. The success path frees @empty_buf with kfree() instead of kvfree(). kvzalloc() may fall back to vmalloc(), in which case kfree() does not correctly release the memory. A KASAN-enabled QEMU harness mirroring this control flow reports "BUG: KASAN: double-free" when the second ntfs_map_runlist_nolock() fails. Clear both @empty_buf and @ra after the in-loop releases so the err path is a no-op when the buffers have already been freed and so the remap-success path does not leak the previous @ra. Switch the success path to kvfree() to match the @empty_buf allocator.
