From: Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit fbfd614aeaa2853c2c575299dfe2458db8eff67e ] If cpg_mssr_common_init() fails after assigning priv to global variable cpg_mssr_priv, it deallocates priv, but cpg_mssr_priv keeps dangling pointer that potentially can be used later. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
