From: Riccardo Mancini <rickyman7@gmail.com> stable inclusion from linux-4.19.199 commit c7184d73f20cb6c828274e3e6c2307ef17027e48 -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit dedeb4be203b382ba7245d13079bc3b0f6d40c65 ] ASan reports a memory leak of nsinfo during the execution of: # perf test "31: Lookup mmap thread". The leak is caused by a refcounted variable being replaced without dropping the refcount. This patch makes sure that the refcnt of nsinfo is decreased whenever a refcounted variable is replaced with a new value.
