[PATCH 2/7] pstore/ram: Fix error handling during przs allocation

From: Anton Vorontsov
Date: Mon Jun 18 2012 - 22:18:00 EST


persistent_ram_new() returns ERR_PTR() value on errors, so during
freeing of the przs we should check for both NULL and IS_ERR() entries,
otherwise bad things will happen.
