6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit d6ebcde6d4ecf34f8495fb30516645db3aea8993 upstream.
A recent patch that addressed a UAF introduced a reference count leak: the parallel_data refcount is incremented unconditionally, regardless of the return value of queue_work(). If the work item is already queued, the incremented refcount is never decremented.
Fix this by checking the return value of queue_work() and decrementing the refcount when necessary.
Resolves:
