Commit 92d585ef067d ("numa: fix NULL pointer access and memory
leak in unregister_one_node()") added kfree() of node struct in
unregister_one_node(). But node struct is freed by node_device_release()
which is called in  unregister_node(). So by adding the kfree(),
node struct is freed two times.

While hot removing memory, the commit leads the following BUG_ON():

  kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3346!
  invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP

  Call Trace:

This patch removes unnecessary kfree() from unregister_one_node().
