Johannes Thumshirn 26ef8493e1 btrfs: fix memory leak in qgroup accounting
When running xfstests on the current btrfs I get the following splat from
kmemleak:

unreferenced object 0xffff88821b2404e0 (size 32):
  comm "kworker/u4:7", pid 26663, jiffies 4295283698 (age 8.776s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

    [<00000000f88cbd17>] ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40

This corresponds to:

  (gdb) l *(btrfs_find_all_roots_safe+0x41)
  0x8d7e1 is in btrfs_find_all_roots_safe (fs/btrfs/backref.c:1413).
  1408
  1409            tmp = ulist_alloc(GFP_NOFS);
  1410            if (!tmp)
  1411                    return -ENOMEM;
  1412            *roots = ulist_alloc(GFP_NOFS);
  1413            if (!*roots) {
  1414                    ulist_free(tmp);
  1415                    return -ENOMEM;
  1416            }
  1417

Following the lifetime of the allocated 'roots' ulist, it gets freed
again in btrfs_qgroup_account_extent().

But this does not happen if the function is called with the
'BTRFS_FS_QUOTA_ENABLED' flag cleared, then btrfs_qgroup_account_extent()
does a short leave and directly returns.

Instead of directly returning we should jump to the 'out_free' in order to
free all resources as expected.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
