Memory for _manager is allocated using kzalloc() but the result is not checked.
I was led to scrutinize ttm_page_alloc_init() from a smatch warning:
drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_page_alloc.c:799 ttm_page_alloc_init() error: potential null dereference '_manager'. (kzalloc returns null)

This patch applies to stable 3.5 and newer.
V2 - kobject_put(&_manager->kobj) uses a destructor and container_of() to free _mamanger.
