Merge tag 'v6.5/vfs.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs fix from Christian Brauner:
 "A fix for the backing file work from this cycle.

  When init_file() failed it would call file_free_rcu() on the file
  allocated by the caller of init_file(). It naively assumed that the
  correct cleanup operation would be called depending on whether it is a
  regular file or a backing file. However, that presupposes that the
  FMODE_BACKING flag would already be set which it won't be as that is
  done in the caller of init_file().

  Fix that bug by moving the cleanup of the allocated file into the
  caller where it belongs in the first place. There's no good reason for
  init_file() to consume resources it didn't allocate. This is a
  mainline only fix and was reported by syzbot. The fix was validated by
  syzbot against the provided reproducer"
