Subject: mm/mempolicy: fix memory leak in set_mempolicy_home_node system call
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2022 14:46:21 -0500
When encountering any vma in the range with policy other than MPOL_BIND or
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY, an error is returned without issuing a mpol_put on
the policy just allocated with mpol_dup().
This allows arbitrary users to leak kernel memory.
