Subject: [PATCH] hfsplus: fix memory leak in hfsplus_fill_super() error path
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
When hfsplus_fill_super() fails, the sbi structure is freed but
sb->s_fs_info is not set to NULL, leaving a dangling pointer.
This can lead to memory leak as reported by syzbot.
Set sb->s_fs_info to NULL after freeing sbi in the error path to
ensure proper cleanup.
Reported-by: syzbot+99f6ed51479b86ac4c41@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=99f6ed51479b86ac4c41
