    nvme: fix memory leak caused by incorrect subsystem free · e654dfd3
    Logan Gunthorpe authored
    When freeing the subsystem after finding another match with
    __nvme_find_get_subsystem(), use put_device() instead of
    __nvme_release_subsystem() which calls kfree() directly.
    
    Per the documentation, put_device() should always be used
    after device_initialization() is called. Otherwise, leaks
    like the one below which was detected by kmemleak may occur.
    
    Once the call of __nvme_release_subsystem() is removed it no
    longer makes sense to keep the helper, so fold it back
    into nvme_release_subsystem().
