From: Wang Hai <wanghai38@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 1aa574312518ef1d60d2dc62d58f7021db3b163a upstream. When I repeatedly modprobe and rmmod dax.ko, kmemleak report a memory leak as follows: unreferenced object 0xffff9a5588c05088 (size 8): comm "modprobe", pid 261, jiffies 4294693644 (age 42.063s) ... backtrace: [<00000000e007ced0>] kstrdup+0x35/0x70 [<000000002ae73897>] kstrdup_const+0x3d/0x50 [<000000002b00c9c3>] kvasprintf_const+0xbc/0xf0 [<000000008023282f>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x3b/0xd0 [<00000000d2cbaa4e>] kobject_set_name+0x62/0x90 [<00000000202e7a22>] bus_register+0x7f/0x2b0 [<000000000b77792c>] 0xffffffffc02840f7 [<000000002d5be5ac>] 0xffffffffc02840b4 [<00000000dcafb7cd>] do_one_initcall+0x58/0x240 [<00000000049fe480>] do_init_module+0x56/0x1e2 [<0000000022671491>] load_module+0x2517/0x2840 [<000000001a2201cb>] __do_sys_finit_module+0x9c/0xe0 [<000000003eb304e7>] do_syscall_64+0x33/0x40 [<0000000051c5fd06>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 When rmmod dax is executed, dax_bus_exit() is missing. This patch can fix this bug.
