Ryusuke Konishi aad4c99785 nilfs2: fix leak of nilfs_root in case of writer thread creation failure
commit d0d51a9706 upstream.

If nilfs_attach_log_writer() failed to create a log writer thread, it
frees a data structure of the log writer without any cleanup.  After
commit e912a5b668 ("nilfs2: use root object to get ifile"), this causes
a leak of struct nilfs_root, which started to leak an ifile metadata inode
and a kobject on that struct.

In addition, if the kernel is booted with panic_on_warn, the above
ifile metadata inode leak will cause the following panic when the
nilfs2 kernel module is removed:

  kmem_cache_destroy nilfs2_inode_cache: Slab cache still has objects when
  called from nilfs_destroy_cachep+0x16/0x3a [nilfs2]

This patch fixes these issues by calling nilfs_detach_log_writer() cleanup
function if spawning the log writer thread fails.

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.
