Yang Shi f4dbba5919 locktorture: Fix potential memory leak with rw lock test
When running locktorture module with the below commands with kmemleak enabled:

$ modprobe locktorture torture_type=rw_lock_irq
$ rmmod locktorture

The below kmemleak got caught:

root@10:~# echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
[  323.197029] kmemleak: 2 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)

It is because cxt.lwsa and cxt.lrsa don't get freed in module_exit, so free
them in lock_torture_cleanup() and free writer_tasks if reader_tasks is
failed at memory allocation.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
