i2cdev_ioctl_rdwr() receives a buffer which is allocated by the caller.

Fixes: 97ca843f6ad3 ("i2c: dev: Check for I2C_FUNC_I2C before calling i2c_transfer")

Hi Igor,

that's a good catch, but...

This needs to be a bit re-written. In the commit log you should
describe what the patch does. You are telling where the buffer is
allocated.

Please, don't free it here, free it where it has been allocated,
i.e. in compat_i2cdev_ioctl().

I thought subject line covered what the patch does. Ack. I'll update
the commit message in v2.

Sounds good. I'll move kfree() in v2.
