When encountering any vma in the range with policy other than MPOL_BIND
or MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY, an error is returned without issuing a mpol_put
on the policy just allocated with mpol_dup().
This allows arbitrary users to leak kernel memory.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.17+Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Thanks for catching this! Btw. looking at the code again it seems rather pointless to duplicate the policy just to throw it away anyway. A slightly bigger diff but this looks more reasonable to me. What do you think? I can also send it as a clean up on top of your fix. ---
