ubi: Fix possible null-ptr-deref in ubi_free_volume()
[ Upstream commit c15859bfd326c10230f09cb48a17f8a35f190342 ]
It willl cause null-ptr-deref in the following case:
uif_init()
ubi_add_volume()
cdev_add() -> if it fails, call kill_volumes()
device_register()
kill_volumes() -> if ubi_add_volume() fails call this function
ubi_free_volume()
cdev_del()
device_unregister() -> trying to delete a not added device,
it causes null-ptr-deref
So in ubi_free_volume(), it delete devices whether they are added
or not, it will causes null-ptr-deref.
Handle the error case whlie calling ubi_add_volume() to fix this
problem. If add volume fails, set the corresponding vol to null,
so it can not be accessed in kill_volumes() and release the
resource in ubi_add_volume() error path.
