Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jffs2: fix memory leak in jffs2_do_mount_fs
If jffs2_build_filesystem() in jffs2_do_mount_fs() returns an error,
we can observe the following kmemleak report:
--------------------------------------------
unreferenced object 0xffff88811b25a640 (size 64):

--------------------------------------------
This is because the resources allocated in jffs2_sum_init() are not
released. Call jffs2_sum_exit() to release these resources to solve
the problem.
