6.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Waiman Long <longman@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 66f40b926dd249f74334a22162c09e7ec1ec5b07 upstream. Fix a possible memory leak in update_exclusive_cpumask() by moving the alloc_cpumasks() down after the validate_change() check which can fail and still before the temporary cpumasks are needed.
