io_buffer_register_bvec() allocates the rsrc node via
io_rsrc_node_alloc() which pulls from ctx->node_cache. On imu allocation
failure, the node is freed with raw kfree() instead of
io_cache_free(&ctx->node_cache, node), bypassing the cache return path
and wasting a reuse opportunity. Every other error path in this file
correctly uses io_cache_free for nodes.
Fixes: 27cb27b6d5ea4 ("io_uring: add support for kernel registered bvecs")

Looks like it was already patched a week ago
