CVE-2026-97606

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fs: autofs: fix memory leak in autofs fill super()

In autofs fill super(), we create a new inode using autofs new ino(), however, if we fail to create root inode, (that is, root inode failure path), we return -ENOMEM without freeing the new inode(ino) that we created causing a memory leak. Fix this by adding autofs free ino() to free the inode we created in root inode failure path before returning ENOMEM.
