I saw a 0day report[1] as well on MIPS for this. Neither have I been
able to reproduce, though. I'm wondering if, due to the misplaced
kfree() that has existed for a while, if some kind of weird scoping is
happening.

I may be wrong: I think this will cause all static binaries to see
their brk moved very unexpectedly. All static PIE binaries will fail?
