PATCH 1/2 rbd: don't leak rbd_req on synchronous requests

When rbd_do_request() is called it allocates and populates an rbd_req structure to hold information about the osd request to be sent. This is done for the benefit of the callback function (in particular, rbd_req_cb()), which uses this in processing when the request completes.

Synchronous requests provide no callback function, in which case rbd_do_request() waits for the request to complete before returning. This case is not handling the needed free of the rbd_req structure like it should, so it is getting leaked.

Note however that the synchronous case has no need for the rbd_req structure at all. So rather than simply freeing this structure for synchronous requests, just don't allocate it to begin with.

PATCH 2/2 rbd: don't leak rbd_req for rbd_req_sync_notify_ack()

In reply to Alex Elder

When rbd_req_sync_notify_ack() calls rbd_do_request() it supplies rbd_simple_req_cb() as its callback function. Because the callback is supplied, an rbd_req structure gets allocated and populated so it can be used by the callback. However rbd_simple_req_cb() is not freeing (or even using) the rbd_req structure, so it's getting leaked.

Since rbd_simple_req_cb() has no need for the rbd_req structure, just avoid allocating one for this case. Of the three calls to rbd_do_request(), only the one from rbd_do_op() needs the rbd_req structure, and that call can be distinguished from the other two because it supplies a non-null rbd_collection pointer.

So fix this leak by only allocating the rbd_req structure if a non-null "coll" value is provided to rbd_do_request().
