From: Xinghui Li <korantli@xxxxxxxxxxx> In nvkm_mem_new_host, the mem is be alloced. And mem->memory is assigned to pmemory. During this process, the mem will be free if the error occurs. But the *pmemory still points to the &mem->memory which has been relased.Laterly, the nvkm_memory_unref will put the memory which points to the pmemory again.So, we set the *pmemory to NULL to avoid UAF issue.
