Pull watch_queue fixes from David Howells:
"Here are fixes for a couple more watch_queue bugs, both found by syzbot:
- Fix error cleanup in watch_queue_set_size() where it tries to clean
up all the pointers in the page list, even if they've not been
allocated yet[1]. Unfortunately, __free_page() doesn't treat a NULL
pointer as being "do nothing".
A second report[2] looks like it's probably the same bug, but on
arm64 rather than x86_64, but there's no reproducer.
- Fix a missing kfree in free_watch() to actually free the watch[3]"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
