Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal/debugfs: Free all thermal zone debug memory on zone removal
Because thermal_debug_tz_remove() does not free all memory allocated for
thermal zone diagnostics, some of that memory becomes unreachable after
freeing the thermal zone's struct thermal_debugfs object.
Address this by making thermal_debug_tz_remove() free all of the memory
in question.
