[PATCH] ceph: fix memory leak in __ceph_setxattr()

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Fri Apr 28 2017 - 06:14:36 EST


The ceph_inode_xattr needs to be released when removing an xattr. Easily
reproducible running the 'generic/020' test from xfstests or simply by
doing:

attr -s attr0 -V 0 /mnt/test && attr -r attr0 /mnt/test

While there, also fix the error path.

Here's the kmemleak splat:

unreferenced object 0xffff88001f86fbc0 (size 64):
comm "attr", pid 244, jiffies 4294904246 (age 98.464s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
40 fa 86 1f 00 88 ff ff 80 32 38 1f 00 88 ff ff @........28.....
00 01 00 00 00 00 ad de 00 02 00 00 00 00 ad de ................
