[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4defb5f912a0ba60e07e91a4b62634814cd99b7f upstream.

allocates string 'new' is not free'd on the exit path when
cdm_element_count <= 0. Fix this by kfree'ing it.

Fixes CoverityScan CID#1375923 "Resource Leak"
