Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: shrinker: avoid memleak in alloc_shrinker_info

From: Chen Ridong <chenridong@...wei.com>

A memleak was found as bellow:

In the alloc_shrinker_info function, when shrinker_unit_alloc return
err, the info won't be freed. Just fix it.

Fixes: 307bececcd12 ("mm: shrinker: add a secondary array for shrinker_info::{map, nr_deferred}")
