In the output of kmemleak, we have the followe backtrace:

unreferenced object 0xffff8885b57cda80 (size 64):

This is a memory leak.

In drbd_state_err() function, if resource->state_change_err_str is a null pointer,
the err_str will not be free.
And _drbd_state_err() has same issues.

So, if err_str has not put to up layer, free it in current function.
