Hello,

AI-generated root cause summary:
In F2FS, when remounting a filesystem with an empty journalled quota option
(such as 'usrjquota='), f2fs_apply_quota_options() overwrites
F2FS_OPTION(sbi).s_qf_names[i] with NULL without freeing the previously
allocated quota filename string. While __f2fs_remount() duplicates the existing
quota file names into org_mount_opt via kstrdup() at the start of remount and
frees them upon successful completion, this only frees the temporary backup
copy, leaving the original allocated string orphaned. This results in a kernel
heap memory leak on every remount that clears a journalled quota filename
option.
