Subject: [PATCH 5.7 013/204] btrfs: ref-verify: fix memory leak in add_block_entry

From: Tom Rix <trix@...hat.com>

commit d60ba8de1164e1b42e296ff270c622a070ef8fe7 upstream.

clang static analysis flags this error

fs/btrfs/ref-verify.c:290:3: warning: Potential leak of memory pointed to by 're' [unix.Malloc]
                kfree(be);
                ^~~~~

The problem is in this block of code:

	if (root_objectid) {
		struct root_entry *exist_re;

		exist_re = insert_root_entry(&exist->roots, re);
		if (exist_re)
			kfree(re);
	}

There is no 'else' block freeing when root_objectid is 0. Add the
missing kfree to the else branch.
