mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.10 commit db803036ada7 ("umh: fix memory leak on execve failure") category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8J9MA CVE: NA
-------------------------------------------------
If a UMH process created by fork_usermode_blob() fails to execute, a pair of struct file allocated by umh_pipe_setup() will leak.
Under normal conditions, the caller (like bpfilter) needs to manage the lifetime of the UMH and its two pipes. But when fork_usermode_blob() fails, the caller doesn't really have a way to know what needs to be done. It seems better to do the cleanup ourselves in this case.
