Nack, since ap == op, this causes double free.

/*
 * Internal structure for direct jump optimized probe
 */
struct optimized_kprobe {
        struct kprobe kp;
        struct list_head list;  /* list for optimizing queue */
        struct arch_optimized_insn optinsn;
};

Please look into alloc_aggr_kprobe() which allocates
optimized_kprobe, and returns op->kp.

Thank you,

An usual way to submit a patch is to mark the subject line with
[patch] tag, not [memory leak].

Thanks,
