Subject: test_firmware: fix a memory leak with reqs buffer
From: Mirsad Goran Todorovac <mirsad.todorovac@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit be37bed754ed90b2655382f93f9724b3c1aae847 upstream.
Dan Carpenter spotted that test_fw_config->reqs will be leaked if
trigger_batched_requests_store() is called two or more times.
The same appears with trigger_batched_requests_async_store().
This bug wasn't trigger by the tests, but observed by Dan's visual
inspection of the code.
The recommended workaround was to return -EBUSY if test_fw_config->reqs
is already allocated.
