In ata_host_alloc(), if ata_port_alloc(host) fails to allocate memory
for a port, the allocated 'host' structure is not freed before returning
from the function. This results in a potential memory leak.
This patch adds a kfree(host) before the error handling code is executed
to ensure that the 'host' structure is properly freed in case of an
allocation failure.

This needs a Fixes tag. So I added:
Fixes: 2623c7a5f279 ("libata: add refcounting to ata_host")
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
and applied to for-6.11-fixes. Thanks.
Based on Niklas Cassel's suggestion, the commit message and the actual
content of the patch do not match.
It should state "if devres_alloc(ata_devres_release, 0, GFP_KERNEL)
fails to allocate memory" instead of "if ata_port_alloc(host) fails to
allocate
memory for a port".
Should I modify the commit message and submit a new version of the patch?
