syzbot reported a memory leak when an allocation fails within
genradix_prealloc() for output streams. That's because
genradix_prealloc() leaves initialized members initialized when the
issue happens and SCTP stack will abort the current initialization but
without cleaning up such members.
The fix here is to always call genradix_free() when genradix_prealloc()
fails, for output and also input streams, as it suffers from the same
issue.

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.
