[PATCH] drivers/power/88pm860x_battery.c: eliminate possible referencesto released resources

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx>

devm_kzalloc should not be followed by kfree, as this results in a double
free.  The problem was found using the following semantic match
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):

// <smpl>
@@
expression x,e;
@@
x = devm_kzalloc(...)
... when != x = e
?-kfree(x,...);
// </smpl>

Furthermore, in the remove function, the calls to free_irq are moved up to
prevent a possible reference in the interrupt handler to resources freed by
power_supply_unregister.

V2, moving up the calls to free_irq, instead of removing them and using
devm_request_threaded_irq.
