Subject: [PATCH 5.8 554/633] fs: dlm: fix configfs memory leak

From: Alexander Aring <aahringo@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 3d2825c8c6105b0f36f3ff72760799fa2e71420e ]

This patch fixes the following memory detected by kmemleak and umount
gfs2 filesystem which removed the last lockspace:

unreferenced object 0xffff9264f482f600 (size 192):
  comm "dlm_controld", pid 325, jiffies 4294690276 (age 48.136s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 6e 6f 64 65 73 00 00 00  ........nodes...
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
  backtrace:
    [<00000000060481d7>] make_space+0x41/0x130
    [<000000008d905d46>] configfs_mkdir+0x1a2/0x5f0
    [<00000000729502cf>] vfs_mkdir+0x155/0x210

    [<00000000ce9ccf01>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

The patch just remembers the "nodes" entry pointer in space as I think
it's created as subdirectory when parent "spaces" is created. In
function drop_space() we will lost the pointer reference to nds because
configfs_remove_default_groups(). However as this subdirectory is always
available when "spaces" exists it will just be freed when "spaces" will be
freed.
