stt has already been added to kvm->arch.spapr_tce_tables, so freeing it
is evil IMHO. I don't know that code, so I don't know if there is some
other place that will make sure that everything in
kvm->arch.spapr_tce_tables will properly get freed, even when no release
function has been called (kvm_spapr_tce_release).

If it is really not freed, than also kvm_put_kvm(stt->kvm) is missing.
