[PATCH v2] kunit: fix reference count leak in kfree_at_end

From: Xiyu Yang
Date: Thu Sep 09 2021 - 03:26:51 EST


The reference counting issue happens in the normal path of
kfree_at_end(). When kunit_alloc_and_get_resource() is invoked, the
function forgets to handle the returned resource object, whose refcount
increased inside, causing a refcount leak.

Fix this issue by calling kunit_alloc_resource() instead of
kunit_alloc_and_get_resource().
