Subject[PATCH] fs/binfmt_elf: free interpreter in load_elf_binary
Date
The file interpreter is allocated in load_elf_binary, but not freed
in the case interp_elf_ex is NULL.
Add a label “out_allow_write_access” so that the interpreter
will be appropriately released in this case.

This memory leak is catched when kmemleak is enabled in kernel,
the report looks like below:

unreferenced object 0xffff8b6e9fd41400 (size 488):
comm "service", pid 4095, jiffies 4300970844 (age 49.618s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
