Subject: media: uvcvideo: Fix memory leak of object map on error exit path
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4b065060555b14c7a9b86c013a1c9bee8e8b6fbd upstream.
Currently when the allocation of map->name fails the error exit path
does not kfree the previously allocated object map. Fix this by
setting ret to -ENOMEM and taking the free_map exit error path to
ensure map is kfree'd.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Resource leak")
