ring-buffer: Fix memory leak of free page
stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.8 commit b02bf0d952ad237444d91881adc56a75912e5e7a bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I99K53 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=b02bf0d952ad237444d91881adc56a75912e5e7a -------------------------------- commit 17d801758157bec93f26faaf5ff1a8b9a552d67a upstream. Reading the ring buffer does a swap of a sub-buffer within the ring buffer with a empty sub-buffer. This allows the reader to have full access to the content of the sub-buffer that was swapped out without having to worry about contention with the writer. The readers call ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() to allocate a page that will be used to swap with the ring buffer. When the code is finished with the reader page, it calls ring_buffer_free_read_page(). Instead of freeing the page, it stores it as a spare. Then next call to ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() will return this spare instead of calling into the memory management system to allocate a new page. Unfortunately, on freeing of the ring buffer, this spare page is not freed, and causes a memory leak.
