Pull orangefs fix from Mike Marshall:
 "We recently refactored the Orangefs debugfs code. The refactor seemed
  to trigger dan.carpenter@oracle.com's static tester to find a possible
  double-free in the code.

  While designing the fix we saw a condition under which the buffer
  being freed could also be overflowed.

  We also realized how to rebuild the related debugfs file's "contents"
  (a string) without deleting and re-creating the file.

  This fix should eliminate the possible double-free, the potential
  overflow and improve code readability"
