nvdimm: Fix devs leaks in scan_labels()
[ Upstream commit 62c2aa6b1f565d2fc1ec11a6e9e8336ce37a6426 ]
scan_labels() leaks memory when label scanning fails and it falls back
to just creating a default "seed" namespace for userspace to configure.
Root can force the kernel to leak memory.
Allocate the minimum resources unconditionally and release them when
unneeded to avoid the memory leak.
A kmemleak reports:
