In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Fix possible memory leak for rq_wb on add_disk failure
kmemleak reported memory leaks in device_add_disk():
kmemleak: 3 new suspected memory leaks
unreferenced object 0xffff88800f420800 (size 512):
comm "modprobe", pid 4275, jiffies 4295639067 (age 223.512s)

...
It is because the memory allocated in wbt_enable_default() is not
released in device_add_disk() error path.
Normally, these memory are freed in:
del_gendisk()
rq_qos_exit()
rqos->ops->exit(rqos);
wbt_exit()
So rq_qos_exit() is called to free the rq_wb memory for wbt_init().
However in the error path of device_add_disk(), only
blk_unregister_queue() is called and make rq_wb memory leaked.
Add rq_qos_exit() to the error path to fix it.
