Subject: [PATCH v2] kunit: executor: Fix a memory leak on failure in kunit_filter_tests

It's possible that memory allocation for 'filtered' will fail, but for the
copy of the suite to succeed. In this case, the copy could be leaked.

Properly free 'copy' in the error case for the allocation of 'filtered'
failing.

Note that there may also have been a similar issue in
kunit_filter_subsuites, before it was removed in "kunit: flatten
kunit_suite*** to kunit_suite** in .kunit_test_suites".

This was reported by clang-analyzer via the kernel test robot, here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/c8073b8e-7b9e-0830-4177-87c12f16349c@intel.com/

And by smatch via Dan Carpenter and the kernel test robot:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/202207101328.ASjx88yj-lkp@intel.com/

Fixes: a02353f49162 ("kunit: bail out of test filtering logic quicker if OOM")

Thanks everyone! No actual code changes in v2, just fixes to the
description.

Changes since v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220712095627.1770312-1-davidgow@google.com/
- Fix a mistake in the commit description where we noted the allocation
  for 'copy' could fail, instead of 'filtered'. (Thanks Yujie!)
- Noted in the description that smatch also found this (Thanks Dan!)
- Added the extra Reported-by and Reviewed-by tags.
