[PATCH] f2fs: fix bio memleak when committing super block

[Sheng Yong]

From: Sheng Yong <shengyong1@xiaomi.com>

When committing new super block, bio is allocated but not freed, and
kmemleak complains:

  unreferenced object 0xffff88801d185600 (size 192):
    comm "kworker/3:2", pid 128, jiffies 4298624992
    hex dump (first 32 bytes):
      00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 67 c3 00 81 88 ff ff  .........g......

      ret_from_fork+0x34/0x70
      ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30

The issue can be reproduced by:

  mount /dev/vda /mnt
  i=0
  while :; do
      echo '[h]abc' > /sys/fs/f2fs/vda/extension_list
      echo '[h]!abc' > /sys/fs/f2fs/vda/extension_list
      echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
      dmesg | grep "new suspected memory leaks"
      [ $? -eq 0 ] && break
      i=$((i + 1))
      echo "$i"
  done
  umount /mnt
