Subject: [PATCH 5.16 0257/1017] watch_queue: Fix NULL dereference in error cleanup

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

[ Upstream commit a635415a064e77bcfbf43da413fd9dfe0bbed9cb ]

In watch_queue_set_size(), the error cleanup code doesn't take account of
the fact that __free_page() can't handle a NULL pointer when trying to free
up buffer pages that did get allocated.

Fix this by only calling __free_page() on the pages actually allocated.

Without the fix, this can lead to something like the following:

BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in __free_pages+0x1f/0x1b0 mm/page_alloc.c:5473
