[PATCH v4] tee: fix params_from_user() error path in tee_ioctl_supp_recv

Message-ID <[email protected]>
params_from_user() may acquire tee_shm references for MEMREF parameters
before failing after partially processing the supplied parameter array.

In tee_ioctl_supp_recv(), those references are currently not released on
that error path.

Fix this by freeing MEMREF references before returning when
params_from_user() fails.

Keep the final cleanup path in tee_ioctl_supp_recv() unchanged since
supp_recv() may consume and replace the supplied parameters, unlike the
other TEE ioctl callback paths.

v4:
- fold free_params() memref check onto one line
- remove unused local variables left behind by the cleanup refactoring

v3:
- only free MEMREF references when params_from_user() fails
- keep tee_ioctl_supp_recv() final cleanup unchanged
- follow Jens' review on supp_recv() parameter ownership semantics

v2:
- rename helper to free_params()
- drop alloc_num_params and use num_params directly
