riscv: Fix memory leak in module_frob_arch_sections()
The current code directly overwrites the scratch pointer with the return value of kvrealloc(). If kvrealloc() fails and returns NULL, the original buffer becomes unreachable, causing a memory leak. Fix this by using a temporary variable to store kvrealloc()'s return value and only update the scratch pointer on success. Found via static anlaysis and this is similar to commit 42378a9ca553 ("bpf, verifier: Fix memory leak in array reallocation for stack state") Fixes: be17c0df6795 ("riscv: module: Optimize PLT/GOT entry counting") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Miaoqian Lin <linmq006@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251026091912.39727-1-linmq006@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Paul Walmsley <pjw@kernel.org>
