syzbot reported a f2fs bug as below:
BUG: memory leak unreferenced object 0xffff888127f70830 (size 16): comm "syz.0.23", pid 6144, jiffies 4294943712 hex dump (first 16 bytes): 3c af 57 72 5b e6 8f ad 6e 8e fd 33 42 39 03 ff <.Wr[...n..3B9.. backtrace (crc 925f8a80): kmemleak_alloc_recursive include/linux/kmemleak.h:44 [inline] slab_post_alloc_hook mm/slub.c:4520 [inline] slab_alloc_node mm/slub.c:4844 [inline] __do_kmalloc_node mm/slub.c:5237 [inline] __kmalloc_noprof+0x3bd/0x560 mm/slub.c:5250 kmalloc_noprof include/linux/slab.h:954 [inline] fscrypt_setup_filename+0x15e/0x3b0 fs/crypto/fname.c:364 f2fs_setup_filename+0x52/0xb0 fs/f2fs/dir.c:143 f2fs_rename+0x159/0xca0 fs/f2fs/namei.c:961 f2fs_rename2+0xd5/0xf20 fs/f2fs/namei.c:1308 vfs_rename+0x7ff/0x1250 fs/namei.c:6026 filename_renameat2+0x4f4/0x660 fs/namei.c:6144 __do_sys_renameat2 fs/namei.c:6173 [inline] __se_sys_renameat2 fs/namei.c:6168 [inline] __x64_sys_renameat2+0x59/0x80 fs/namei.c:6168 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 [inline] do_syscall_64+0xe2/0xf80 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f
The root cause is in commit 40b2d55e0452 ("f2fs: fix to create selinux label during whiteout initialization"), we added a call to f2fs_setup_filename() without a matching call to f2fs_free_filename(), fix it.
