When retriving a item string with tlmi_setting(), the result has to be
freed using kfree(). In current_value_show() however, malformed
item strings are not freed, causing a memory leak.
Fix this by eliminating the early return responsible for this.

I can confirm that the test passed in the original environment that caused the kmemleak.

NOTE: The leaks here belong to drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c leak for which I have
proposed a fix in message <df560535-2a8e-de21-d45d-805159d70954@xxxxxxxxxxxx>.

This test was built on the 6.3-rc4+ commit fcd476ea6a88 Torvalds tree + the following
patches (Armin's, and Thomas's).

Xhci patch from Mathias is included because it is well tested and already submitted and acked.

At your convenience and according to the Code of Conduct, you can add:

Tested-by: Mirsad Goran Todorovac <mirsad.todorovac@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Otherwise, Armin, I think you should submit this patch rightly because all idea to search in
think-lmi.c was yours.

Bisect was also much faster and in fewer steps.

Thanks,
Mirsad

Thank you for reporting the memory leak issues and testing the patches.
I will send a v3 of my patch soon which will contain your Tested-by: tag.
