AI-generated root cause summary:
A memory leak of `struct dev_iommu` occurs when `iommu_fwspec_init()` allocates
`dev->iommu` via `dev_iommu_get()`, but subsequently fails on allocating the
`iommu_fwspec` structure (e.g. via fault injection) and returns -ENOMEM without
releasing `dev->iommu`. Furthermore, callers such as `iommu_mock_device_add()`
do not invoke `dev_iommu_free()` on error from `iommu_fwspec_init()`. When
device initialization fails and the device is released, `dev->iommu` remains
allocated, causing an unreferenced object memory leak.

Subject: [PATCH] iommu: Fix dev_iommu leak on mock fwspec initialization failure
Author: diasyzhangqing@gmail.com
If iommu_fwspec_init() fails to allocate the fwspec after allocating
dev->iommu, iommu_mock_device_add() returns without freeing dev->iommu.
The mock device was never registered, so the normal IOMMU cleanup path
does not run, and releasing the mock device leaves dev_iommu leaked.
Clean up in iommu_mock_device_add() while holding iommu_probe_device_lock.
Only free dev->iommu if this call allocated it, preserving any pre-existing
object. Check for NULL since initialization can fail before allocation.
Fixes: 2a918911ed3d ("iommufd: Register iommufd mock devices with fwspec")
Reported-by: syzbot+fe84fc6a684e0beb86e2@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=fe84fc6a684e0beb86e2

I reproduced the same leak from the syzbot report. This fixes the mock
device path as Robin requested in response to Tal's patch [1].
