commit 594d2a1 upstream.

There is a memory leak reported by kmemleak:

  unreferenced object 0xffff88817104ef80 (size 224):
    comm "xfs_admin", pid 47165, jiffies 4298708825 (age 1333.476s)

If "interp_elf_ex" fails to allocate memory in load_elf_binary(),
the program will take the "out_free_ph" error handing path,
resulting in "interpreter" file resource is not released.

Fix it by adding an error handing path "out_free_file", which will
release the file resource when "interp_elf_ex" failed to allocate
memory.
