Hi Rustam,

Thanks for looking into this.

I wonder how/where are these objects referenced? If they are not
leaked and referenced somewhere, KMEMLEAK should not report them as
leaks.
So even if this is a false positive for BPF, this is a true positive
bug and something to fix for KMEMLEAK ;)
And syzbot will probably re-create this bug report soon as this still
happens and is not a one-off thing.
