Subject: mm: fix vma->anon_name memory leak for anonymous shmem VMAs
Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2023 16:02:40 -0800

free_anon_vma_name() is missing a check for anonymous shmem VMA which
leads to a memory leak due to refcount not being dropped.  Fix this by
calling anon_vma_name_put() unconditionally.  It will free vma->anon_name
whenever it's non-NULL.
