kmemleak reported some memory leak as below.

unreferenced object 0xffff8800d6ea4000 (size 512):
  comm "sshd", pid 278, jiffies 4294898315 (age 46.653s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

    06 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ........!.......

This memory leak happend in seccomp_attach_filter().
The fp pointer was allocated via kzalloc so that it needs to realase memory
when leaving from function.

This patch changed two things.
One is set -ENOMEM to ret, if fp is unable to get memory.
The other is removes "return 0" statement, and frees fp pointer before
leaving.

agree. that's a good addition.

I think mixing error and ok return paths is ugly.
Can you add kfree(fp) here instead of removing return 0?

Thanks!

Thanks for the catch!

Yeah, I'd prefer a different approach that follows the existing
conventions in the code. I'll send a separate patch.

I troubled that have two kfree(fp) path or merge error and success path.
But separate paths is easy to read.
