efivarfs: Fix memory leak of efivarfs_fs_info in fs_context error paths
[ Upstream commit 64e135f1eaba0bbb0cdee859af3328c68d5b9789 ]
When processing mount options, efivarfs allocates efivarfs_fs_info (sfi)
early in fs_context initialization. However, sfi is associated with the
superblock and typically freed when the superblock is destroyed. If the
fs_context is released (final put) before fill_super is called—such as
on error paths or during reconfiguration—the sfi structure would leak,
as ownership never transfers to the superblock.
Implement the .free callback in efivarfs_context_ops to ensure any
allocated sfi is properly freed if the fs_context is torn down before
fill_super, preventing this memory leak.
