In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/v3d: Fix potential memory leak in the performance extension
If fetching of userspace memory fails during the main loop, all drm sync objs looked up until that point will be leaked because of the missing drmsyncobjput.
Fix it by exporting and using a common cleanup helper.
