Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15 5/6] fs/super.c: stop calling fscrypt_destroy_keyring() from __put_super()

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit ec64036e68634231f5891faa2b7a81cdc5dcd001 ]

Now that the key associated with the "test_dummy_operation" mount option
is added on-demand when it's needed, rather than immediately when the
filesystem is mounted, fscrypt_destroy_keyring() no longer needs to be
called from __put_super() to avoid a memory leak on mount failure.

Remove this call, which was causing confusion because it appeared to be
a sleep-in-atomic bug (though it wasn't, for a somewhat-subtle reason).
