nvme-ioctl: fix leaked requests on mapping error
[ Upstream commit 00817f0f1c45b007965f5676b9a2013bb39c7228 ]
All the callers assume nvme_map_user_request() frees the request on a
failure. This wasn't happening on invalid metadata or io_uring command
flags, so we've been leaking those requests.
Fixes: 23fd22e55b767b ("nvme: wire up fixed buffer support for nvme passthrough")
Fixes: 7c2fd76048e95d ("nvme: fix metadata handling in nvme-passthrough")
