Subject: [PATCH] io-wq: Fix memory leak in worker creation

If the CPU mask allocation for a node fails, then the memory allocated for
the 'io_wqe' struct of the current node doesn't get freed on the error
handling path, since it has not yet been added to the 'wqes' array.

This was spotted when fuzzing v6.1-rc1 with Syzkaller:
BUG: memory leak
