powerpc/xive: fix kmemleak caused by incorrect chip_data lookup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/xive: fix kmemleak caused by incorrect chip_data lookup
The kmemleak reports the following memory leak:

This occurs when allocating MSI-X vectors for an NVMe device. During
allocation the XIVE code creates a struct xive_irq_data and stores it
in irq_data->chip_data.
When the MSI-X irqdomain is later freed, xive_irq_free_data() is
responsible for retrieving this structure and freeing it. However,
after commit cc0cc23babc9 ("powerpc/xive: Untangle xive from child
interrupt controller drivers"), xive_irq_free_data() retrieves the
chip_data using irq_get_chip_data(), which looks up the data through
the child domain.
This is incorrect because the XIVE-specific irq data is associated with
the XIVE (parent) domain. As a result the lookup fails and the allocated
struct xive_irq_data is never freed, leading to the kmemleak report
shown above.
Fix this by retrieving the irq_data from the correct domain using
irq_domain_get_irq_data() and then accessing the chip_data via
irq_data_get_irq_chip_data().Daten sind bereitgestellt durch National Vulnerability Database (NVD)

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse.
