Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/gup: Fix memory leak in __gup_benchmark_ioctl

In the implementation of __gup_benchmark_ioctl() the allocated pages
should be released before returning in case of an invalid cmd. Release
pages via kvfree() by goto done.

Fixes: 714a3a1ebafe ("mm/gup_benchmark.c: add additional pinning methods")

Changes in v2:
	-- added goto and ret value instead of return -1.
