In function hvfb_probe in hyperv_fb.c, it calls hvfb_getmem(hdev, info)
and return err when info->apertures is freed.

In the error1 label of hvfb_probe, info->apertures will be freed twice
by framebuffer_release(info).

My patch sets info->apertures to NULL after it was freed to avoid
double free.

While I think this works, a slightly better solution might be to remove
all calls to kfree(info->apertures) in hvfb_getmem(),  and just let
framebuffer_release() handle freeing the memory.  That's what is
done in other drivers that follow the fbdev pattern, and it's less
code overall.

Ok, i agree with you. Remove all calls to kfree(info->apertures)
in hvfb_getmem() is a better solution.

I will subimt a PATCH v2 for you to review. Thanks.
