Subject: x86/intel_rdt: Fix locking in rdtgroup_schemata_write()
From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7f00f388712b29005782bad7e4b25942620f3b9c upstream.
The schemata lock is released before freeing the resource's temporary
tmp_cbms allocation. That's racy versus another write which allocates and
uses new temporary storage, resulting in memory leaks, freeing in use
memory, double a free or any combination of those.
Move the unlock after the release code.
