Subject: [PATCH 2/3] x86/resctrl: Add necessary kernfs_put() calls to prevent refcount leak

On resource group creation via a mkdir an extra kernfs_node reference is
obtained by kernfs_get() to ensure that the rdtgroup structure remains
accessible for the rdtgroup_kn_unlock() calls where it is removed on
deletion. Currently the extra kernfs_node reference count is only
dropped by kernfs_put() in rdtgroup_kn_unlock() while the rdtgroup
structure is removed in a few other locations that lack the matching
reference drop.

In call paths of rmdir and umount, when a control group is removed,
kernfs_remove() is called to remove the whole kernfs nodes tree of the
control group (including the kernfs nodes trees of all child monitoring
groups), and then rdtgroup structure is freed by kfree(). The rdtgroup
structures of all child monitoring groups under the control group are
freed by kfree() in free_all_child_rdtgrp().

Before calling kfree() to free the rdtgroup structures, the kernfs node
of the control group itself as well as the kernfs nodes of all child
monitoring groups still take the extra references which will never be
dropped to 0 and the kernfs nodes will never be freed. It leads to
reference count leak and kernfs_node_cache memory leak.

For example, reference count leak is observed in these two cases:
  (1) mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_groups/m1
      umount /sys/fs/resctrl

  (2) mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_groups/m1
      rmdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1

The same reference count leak issue also exists in the error exit paths
of mkdir in mkdir_rdt_prepare() and rdtgroup_mkdir_ctrl_mon().

Fix this issue by following changes to make sure the extra kernfs_node
reference on rdtgroup is dropped before freeing the rdtgroup structure.
  (1) Introduce rdtgroup removal helper rdtgroup_remove() to wrap up
  kernfs_put() and kfree().

  (2) Call rdtgroup_remove() in rdtgroup removal path where the rdtgroup
  structure is about to be freed by kfree().

  (3) Call rdtgroup_remove() or kernfs_put() as appropriate in the error
  exit paths of mkdir where an extra reference is taken by kernfs_get().
