debugfs: full_proxy_open(): free proxy on ->open() failure
Debugfs' full_proxy_open(), the ->open() installed at all inodes created through debugfs_create_file(), - grabs a reference to the original struct file_operations instance passed to debugfs_create_file(), - dynamically allocates a proxy struct file_operations instance wrapping the original - and installs this at the file's ->f_op. Afterwards, it calls the original ->open() and passes its return value back to the VFS layer. Now, if that return value indicates failure, the VFS layer won't ever call ->release() and thus, neither the reference to the original file_operations nor the memory for the proxy file_operations will get released, i.e. both are leaked. Upon failure of the original fops' ->open(), undo the proxy installation. That is: - Set the struct file ->f_op to what it had been when full_proxy_open() was entered. - Drop the reference to the original file_operations. - Free the memory holding the proxy file_operations.
