Subject: x86/intel_rdt: Fix locking in rdtgroup_schemata_write()

From: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]>

commit 7f00f388712b29005782bad7e4b25942620f3b9c upstream.

The schemata lock is released before freeing the resource's temporary tmp_cbms allocation. That's racy versus another write which allocates and uses new temporary storage, resulting in memory leaks, freeing in use memory, double a free or any combination of those.

Move the unlock after the release code.
