Subject: dm log userspace: fix memory leak in dm_ulog_tfr_init failure path
From: Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 56ec16cb1e1ce46354de8511eef962a417c32c92 upstream.
If cn_add_callback() fails in dm_ulog_tfr_init(), it does not
deallocate prealloced memory but calls cn_del_callback().
Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
