ipmi: fix memleak when unload ipmi driver

stable inclusion
from stable-v4.19.270
commit acc6579bea6a20e472eca3264203dd5854ca9b4e
category: bugfix
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I6DPF8


CVE: NA

--------------------------------

[ Upstream commit 36992eb6 ]

After the IPMI disconnect problem, the memory kept rising and we tried
to unload the driver to free the memory. However, only part of the
free memory is recovered after the driver is uninstalled. Using
ebpf to hook free functions, we find that neither ipmi_user nor
ipmi_smi_msg is free, only ipmi_recv_msg is free.

We find that the deliver_smi_err_response call in clean_smi_msgs does
the destroy processing on each message from the xmit_msg queue without
checking the return value and free ipmi_smi_msg.

deliver_smi_err_response is called only at this location. Adding the
free handling has no effect.

To verify, try using ebpf to trace the free function.

  $ bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:ipmi_alloc_recv_msg {printf("alloc rcv
      %p\n",retval);} kprobe:free_recv_msg {printf("free recv %p\n",
      arg0)} kretprobe:ipmi_alloc_smi_msg {printf("alloc smi %p\n",
        retval);} kprobe:free_smi_msg {printf("free smi  %p\n",arg0)}'
