[PATCH] of: overlay: fix memory leak of ovcs on error exit path

From: Colin King
Date: Wed Nov 29 2017 - 14:17:56 EST


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

Currently if the call to of_resolve_phandles fails then then ovcs
is not kfree'd on the error exit path. Rather than try and make
the clean up exit path more convoluted, fix this by just kfree'ing
ovcs at the point of error detection and exit via the same exit
path.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1462296 ("Resource Leak")

Fixes: f948d6d8b792 ("of: overlay: avoid race condition between applying multiple overlays")
