commit e163fdb3f7f8c62dccf194f3f37a7bcb3c333aa8 upstream. In my attempt to fix a memory leak, I introduced a double-free in the pstore error path. Instead of trying to manage the allocation lifetime between persistent_ram_new() and its callers, adjust the logic so persistent_ram_new() always takes a kstrdup() copy, and leaves the caller's allocation lifetime up to the caller. Therefore callers are _always_ responsible for freeing their label. Before, it only needed freeing when the prz itself failed to allocate, and not in any of the other prz failure cases, which callers would have no visibility into, which is the root design problem that lead to both the leak and now double-free bugs.

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.
