Strfree() should call kfree() not kmem_free()
Using kmem_free() results in deducting X bytes from the memory accounting when --enable-debug is set. Unfortunately, currently the counterpart kmem_asprintf() and friends do not properly account for memory allocated, so we must do the same on free. If we don't then we end up with a negative number of lost bytes reported when the module is unloaded. A better long term fix would be to add the accounting in to the allocation side but that's a project for another day.
