This patch does a full cleanup of 'NULL checks before vfree', and a partial
cleanup of calls to kfree for all of drivers/ - the kfree bit is partial in
that I only did the files that also had vfree calls in them.  The patch
also gets rid of some redundant (void *) casts of pointers being passed to
[vk]free, and a some tiny whitespace corrections also crept in.

Jack Steiner brought this issue at my OLS talk.

Take a scenario where two tasks are pinned to two HT threads in a physical
package.  Idle packages in the system will keep kicking migration_thread on
the busy package with out any success.

We will run into similar scenarios in the presence of CMP/NUMA.

If an idle sibling of an HT queue encounters a busy sibling, then make
higher level load balancing of the non-idle variety.

Performance of multiprocessor HT systems with low numbers of tasks
(generally < number of virtual CPUs) can be significantly worse than the
exact same workloads when running in non-HT mode.  The reason is largely
due to poor scheduling behaviour.

This patch improves the situation, making the performance gap far less
significant on one problematic test case (tbench).
