Subject: [PATCH 5.16 0258/1017] watch_queue: Actually free the watch

From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 3d8dcf278b1ee1eff1e90be848fa2237db4c07a7 ]

free_watch() does everything barring actually freeing the watch object.  Fix
this by adding the missing kfree.

kmemleak produces a report something like the following.  Note that as an
address can be seen in the first word, the watch would appear to have gone
through call_rcu().

BUG: memory leak
unreferenced object 0xffff88810ce4a200 (size 96):
  comm "syz-executor352", pid 3605, jiffies 4294947473 (age 13.720s)
