mtd: fix memory leaks in phram_setup
There are two code paths in drivers/mtd/devices/phram.c::phram_setup() that will leak memory. Memory is allocated to the variable 'name' with kmalloc() by the parse_name() function, but if we leave by way of the parse_err() macro, then that memory is never kfree()'d, nor is it ever used with register_device() so it won't be freed later either - leak. Found by the Coverity checker as #593 - simple fix below. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
