commit f9a5c358c8d26fed0cc45f2afc64633d4ba21dff upstream. When we exceed the limit of BSS entries, this function will free the new entry, however, at this time, it is the last door to access the inputed ies, so these ies will be unreferenced objects and cause memory leak. Therefore we should free its ies before deallocating the new entry, beside of dropping it from hidden_list.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
