Subject: [PATCH 5.10 246/663] ima: Free IMA measurement buffer on error

From: Lakshmi Ramasubramanian <nramas@...ux.microsoft.com>

[ Upstream commit 6d14c6517885fa68524238787420511b87d671df ]

IMA allocates kernel virtual memory to carry forward the measurement
list, from the current kernel to the next kernel on kexec system call,
in ima_add_kexec_buffer() function.  In error code paths this memory
is not freed resulting in memory leak.

Free the memory allocated for the IMA measurement list in
the error code paths in ima_add_kexec_buffer() function.
