Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.14 027/100] null_blk: fix dev->badblocks leak

From: David Disseldorp <ddiss@...e.de>

[ Upstream commit 1addb798e93893d33c8dfab743cd44f09fd7719a ]

null_alloc_dev() allocates memory for dev->badblocks, but cleanup
currently only occurs in the configfs release codepath, missing a number
of other places.

This bug was found running the blktests block/010 test, alongside
kmemleak:
rapido1:/blktests# ./check block/010
...
rapido1:/blktests# echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
[  306.966708] kmemleak: 32 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)
rapido1:/blktests# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
unreferenced object 0xffff88001f86d000 (size 4096):
