Because free_profile is being called via aa_put_profile (and hence kref_put) each profile free is done via what amounts to recursion. That is free_profile indirectly calls free_profile on the next profile in the chain via aa_put_profile. Break this recursion by directly walking the chain, and as long as a profile is being freed because it has no more references continue on to the next profile. This results in at most 2 levels of free_profile being called.
