4.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 22eb9476b5d80a393ac0ba235c42bccc90b82c76 upstream. On binder_init() the devices string is duplicated and smashed into individual device names which are passed along. However, the original duplicated string wasn't freed in case binder_init() failed. Let's free it on error.
