The functions vring_new_virtqueue() and __vring_new_virtqueue() are used
with split rings, and any allocations within these functions are managed
outside of the .we_own_ring flag. The commit cbeedb72b97a ("virtio_ring:
allocate desc state for split ring separately") allocates the desc state
within the __vring_new_virtqueue() but frees it only when the .we_own_ring
flag is set. This leads to a memory leak when freeing such allocated
virtqueues with the vring_del_virtqueue() function.
Fix this by moving the desc_state free code outside the flag and only
for split rings. Issue was discovered during testing with remoteproc
and virtio_rpmsg.

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.
