Commit f3cc6b25dcc5 ("ima: always measure and audit files in policy") lets
measurement or audit happen even if the file digest cannot be calculated.

As a result, iint->ima_hash could have been allocated despite
ima_collect_measurement() returning an error.

Since ima_hash belongs to a temporary inode metadata structure, declared
at the beginning of __ima_inode_hash(), just add a kfree() call if
ima_collect_measurement() returns an error different from -ENOMEM (in that
case, ima_hash should not have been allocated).

Any chance you could fix your mailer?

Hi Mimi

not sure how to fix this. I need to send from @huaweicloud.com because
some people didn't receive the patches from @huawei.com. But I still
prefer to have the original email in the patches.

Thanks
