In the pvcalls_new_active_socket() function, most error paths call pvcalls_back_release_active(fedata->dev, fedata, map) which calls sock_release() on "sock". The bug is that the caller also frees sock. Fix this by making every error path in pvcalls_new_active_socket() release the sock, and don't free it in the caller.
