Subject: [PATCH 5.19 492/717] ipc: mqueue: fix possible memory leak in init_mqueue_fs()

From: Hangyu Hua <hbh25y@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit c579d60f0d0cd87552f64fdebe68b5d941d20309 ]

commit db7cfc380900 ("ipc: Free mq_sysctls if ipc namespace creation
failed")

Here's a similar memory leak to the one fixed by the patch above.
retire_mq_sysctls need to be called when init_mqueue_fs fails after
setup_mq_sysctls.

Fixes: dc55e35f9e81 ("ipc: Store mqueue sysctls in the ipc namespace")
