Subject: [PATCH 5.10 032/103] comedi: Fix memory leak in compat_insnlist()

From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@....co.uk>

commit bb509a6ffed2c8b0950f637ab5779aa818ed1596 upstream.

`compat_insnlist()` handles the 32-bit version of the `COMEDI_INSNLIST`
ioctl (whenwhen `CONFIG_COMPAT` is enabled).  It allocates memory to
temporarily hold an array of `struct comedi_insn` converted from the
32-bit version in user space.  This memory is only being freed if there
is a fault while filling the array, otherwise it is leaked.

Add a call to `kfree()` to fix the leak.
