Subject: [PATCH 5.12 265/384] block/rnbd-clt: Fix missing a memory free when unloading the module

From: Gioh Kim <gi-oh.kim@...ud.ionos.com>

[ Upstream commit 12b06533104e802df73c1fbe159437c19933d6c0 ]

When unloading the rnbd-clt module, it does not free a memory
including the filename of the symbolic link to /sys/block/rnbdX.

It is found by kmemleak as below.

unreferenced object 0xffff9f1a83d3c740 (size 16):
  comm "bash", pid 736, jiffies 4295179665 (age 9841.310s)
  hex dump (first 16 bytes):
    21 64 65 76 21 6e 75 6c 6c 62 30 40 62 6c 61 00  !dev!nullb0@....
