[PATCH v2] ring-buffer: Fix subbuf_ids memory leak in rb_allocate_cpu_buffer() error path

["Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@kernel.org>]

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

In rb_allocate_cpu_buffer(), cpu_buffer->subbuf_ids is allocated using
kcalloc() when buffer->remote is non-NULL. If a subsequent page allocation
fails (e.g., ring_buffer_desc_page() returns NULL or rb_allocate_pages()
fails), execution jumps to fail_free_reader.

While __free(kfree) automatically frees the outer cpu_buffer structure
at scope exit, kfree(cpu_buffer) does not recursively free nested heap
pointers such as cpu_buffer->subbuf_ids, resulting in a memory leak.

Fix this by explicitly freeing cpu_buffer->subbuf_ids in the
fail_free_reader error unwinding path when cpu_buffer->remote is set.

Fixes: 2e67fabd8b77 ("ring-buffer: Introduce ring-buffer remotes")

 Changes in v2:
  - Call kfree(subbuf_ids) unconditionally because it should be NULL
    if !remote.
