sgl_alloc_order: fix memory leak
stable inclusion from linux-4.19.155 commit e6786fd18fe2b91a4844f7d1606c50e09d4cebcf -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit b2a182a4 ] sgl_alloc_order() can fail when 'length' is large on a memory constrained system. When order > 0 it will potentially be making several multi-page allocations with the later ones more likely to fail than the earlier one. So it is important that sgl_alloc_order() frees up any pages it has obtained before returning NULL. In the case when order > 0 it calls the wrong free page function and leaks. In testing the leak was sufficient to bring down my 8 GiB laptop with OOM. Reviewed-by:Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org> Signed-off-by:
