Subject: btrfs: fix memory leak in __add_inode_ref()
From: Jianglei Nie <niejianglei2021@xxxxxxx>
commit f35838a6930296fc1988764cfa54cb3f705c0665 upstream.
Line 1169 (#3) allocates a memory chunk for victim_name by kmalloc(),
but when the function returns in line 1184 (#4) victim_name allocated
by line 1169 (#3) is not freed, which will lead to a memory leak.
There is a similar snippet of code in this function as allocating a memory
chunk for victim_name in line 1104 (#1) as well as releasing the memory
in line 1116 (#2).
We should kfree() victim_name when the return value of backref_in_log()
is less than zero and before the function returns in line 1184 (#4).
