In the function xdp_umem_pin_pages, if npgs != umem->npgs and
npgs >= 0, the function xdp_umem_unpin_pages is called. In this
function, kfree is called to handle umem->pgs, and then in the
function xdp_umem_pin_pages, kfree is called again to handle
umem->pgs. Eventually, to umem->pgs, kfree is called twice.

Since umem->pgs is set to NULL after the first kfree, the second
kfree would not trigger call trace.

Fixes: c0c77d8fb787 ("xsk: add user memory registration support sockopt")

The original patch is just to make some cleanups. Please do not make
it so complicated.
If you like it, please file an official patch for code review.
