The way the code is written makes it seem like you could free memory
_and_ have a completion but you can't. Specifically:

* The only plausible thing that "rpm_msg->free" could point to is "rpm_msg".

* The complete(compl) would then be accessing freed memory.


I believe the kfree() should be at the end of the function.
Personally I'd make it more obvious that this is just a boolean value
and change to:

if (rpm_msg->needs_free)
kgree(rpm_msg)

...then the reader of the code doesn't need to go figure out what
you're trying to free.
