David Disseldorp 2e194c9c55 null_blk: fix dev->badblocks leak
[ Upstream commit 1addb798e93893d33c8dfab743cd44f09fd7719a ]

null_alloc_dev() allocates memory for dev->badblocks, but cleanup
currently only occurs in the configfs release codepath, missing a number
of other places.

This bug was found running the blktests block/010 test, alongside
kmemleak:
rapido1:/blktests# ./check block/010
...
rapido1:/blktests# echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
[  306.966708] kmemleak: 32 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
