Subject: [Linux Kernel Bug] memory leak in ubi_attach

Dear Linux Kernel Developers for UBI,

We encountered "memory leak in ubi_attach" when testing UBI with
Syzkaller and our generated specifications.

report: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hC2arY3FbQt-6L5rbDfY-DQ2oH82IIGq/view?usp=drive_link
stats: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1REig9fV0H1fYPWaiicc-JVLlCpo7TTw4/view?usp=drive_link

This memory leak is triggered by `ioctl$UBI_IOCATT`, where
`ubi_attach_info` invokes `kmem_cache_create`
(https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.7/source/drivers/mtd/ubi/attach.c#L1464).
It seems that the memory leak occurs when the slab cache is
successfully created. I apologize for not being able to conduct a
deeper analysis of the root cause, as my expertise in UBI drivers is
limited.

If you have any questions or require more information, please feel
free to contact us.

Chenyuan
