CVE-2026-72145

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86/intel/tpmi: use cleanup helpers in mem_write() In mem_write(), the temporary array returned by parse_int_array_user() must be released on all exit paths. Convert the array variable to use cleanup.h scope-based cleanup so it is freed automatically on return. This also moves the array declaration next to parse_int_array_user() as required by cleanup.h usage guidelines.
