[ Upstream commit 12b06533104e802df73c1fbe159437c19933d6c0 ]

When unloading the rnbd-clt module, it does not free a memory
including the filename of the symbolic link to /sys/block/rnbdX.

It is found by kmemleak as below.

unreferenced object 0xffff9f1a83d3c740 (size 16):
comm "bash", pid 736, jiffies 4295179665 (age 9841.310s)
hex dump (first 16 bytes):
21 64 65 76 21 6e 75 6c 6c 62 30 40 62 6c 61 00 !dev!nullb0@bla.
