CVE-2022-49408

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext4: fix memory leak in parse_apply_sb_mount_options()

If processing the on-disk mount options fails after any memory was
allocated in the ext4_fs_context, e.g. s_qf_names, then this memory is
leaked.  Fix this by calling ext4_fc_free() instead of kfree() directly.

Reproducer:

    mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/vdc
    tune2fs /dev/vdc -E mount_opts=usrjquota=file
    echo clear > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
    mount /dev/vdc /vdc
    echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
    sleep 5
    echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
    cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
