From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 355e8d26f719c207aa2e00e6f3cfab3acf21769b upstream. Opening and closing an io_uring instance leaks a UNIX domain socket inode. This is because the ->file of the io_uring instance's internal UNIX domain socket is set to point to the io_uring file, but then sock_release() sees the non-NULL ->file and assumes the inode reference is held by the file so doesn't call iput(). That's not the case here, since the reference is still meant to be held by the socket; the actual inode of the io_uring file is different. Fix this leak by NULL-ing out ->file before releasing the socket.
