Summary
btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at find_parent_nodes()
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at findparentnodes()

During backref walking, at findparentnodes(), if we are dealing with a data extent and we get an error while resolving the indirect backrefs, at resolveindirectrefs(), or in the while loop that iterates over the refs in the direct refs rbtree, we end up leaking the inode lists attached to the direct refs we have in the direct refs rbtree that were not yet added to the refs ulist passed as argument to findparentnodes(). Since they were not yet added to the refs ulist and prelim_release() does not free the lists, on error the caller can only free the lists attached to the refs that were added to the refs ulist, all the remaining refs get their inode lists never freed, therefore leaking their memory.

Fix this by having prelimrelease() always free any attached inode list to each ref found in the rbtree, and have findparentnodes() set the ref's inode list to NULL once it transfers ownership of the inode list to a ref added to the refs ulist passed to findparent_nodes().
