From: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyan...@fudan.edu.cn> [ Upstream commit e3436ce60cf5f5eaedda2b8c622f69feb97595e2 ]
gasket_sysfs_register_store() invokes get_mapping(), which returns a reference of the specified gasket_sysfs_mapping object to "mapping" with increased refcnt. When gasket_sysfs_register_store() returns, local variable "mapping" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of gasket_sysfs_register_store(). When gasket_dev is NULL, the function forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by get_mapping(), causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by calling put_mapping() when gasket_dev is NULL.
