Subject: [PATCH] comedi: Fix memory leak in compat_insnlist()
Git-commit: bb509a6ffed2c8b0950f637ab5779aa818ed1596
Patch-mainline: v5.15-rc3
References: stable-5.14.9

commit bb509a6ffed2c8b0950f637ab5779aa818ed1596 upstream.

`compat_insnlist()` handles the 32-bit version of the `COMEDI_INSNLIST`
ioctl (whenwhen `CONFIG_COMPAT` is enabled).  It allocates memory to
temporarily hold an array of `struct comedi_insn` converted from the
32-bit version in user space.  This memory is only being freed if there
is a fault while filling the array, otherwise it is leaked.

Add a call to `kfree()` to fix the leak.
