[PATCH 5.10 03/54] nilfs2: fix leak of nilfs_root in case of writer thread creation failure

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@gmail.com>

commit d0d51a97063db4704a5ef6bc978dddab1636a306 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 e912a5b66837 ("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

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