From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3d8dcf278b1ee1eff1e90be848fa2237db4c07a7 ] free_watch() does everything barring actually freeing the watch object. Fix this by adding the missing kfree. kmemleak produces a report something like the following. Note that as an address can be seen in the first word, the watch would appear to have gone through call_rcu().
