Hi Pavel,

Confirm the patch you posted [1] is the real fix of this bug report.

I tested the patch from Yanfei Xu [2] in my local workspace, and the
memory leak is still triggered. In addition, I have pushed a patch
request for that patch. The result would prove that patch is not
working for this bug.

BTW, there occur incorrect fix commits on the syzbot dashboard
sometimes. Maybe it should be cleaned in the future.
