[ Upstream commit 4a3a485b1ed0e109718cc8c9d094fa0f552de9b2 ]
When WB_registered flag is not set, wb_queue_work() skips queuing the work, but does not perform the necessary clean up. In particular, if work->auto_free is true, it should free the memory.
The leak condition can be reprouced by following these steps:
mount /dev/sdb /mnt/sdb /* In qemu console: device_del sdb */ umount /dev/sdb
Above will result in a wb_queue_work() call on an unregistered wb and thus leak memory.
