------------------ From: Mike Snitzer <snit...@redhat.com> commit b592211c33f745af67a3271ce77c10fc1e6d6241 upstream. Commit e8f74a0f0011 ("dm mpath: eliminate need to use scsi_device_from_queue") introduced 2 regressions: 1) memory leak occurs if attached_handler_name is not assigned to m->hw_handler_name 2) m->hw_handler_name can become a dangling pointer if the RETAIN_ATTACHED_HW_HANDLER flag is set and scsi_dh_attach() returns -EBUSY. Fix both of these by clearing 'attached_handler_name' pointer passed to setup_scsi_dh() after it is assigned to m->hw_handler_name. And if setup_scsi_dh() doesn't consume 'attached_handler_name' parse_path() will kfree() it.
