From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently when kasprintf fails and returns NULL, the error return -ENOMEM is being assigned to cdev instead of err causing the return via the label remove_qos_re to return the incorrect error code. Fix this by explicitly setting err before taking the error return path.
