From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2019 15:22:12 +0200 A null pointer would be passed to a call of the function “kfree” directly after a call of the function “kzalloc” failed at one place. Remove this superfluous function call. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
