[PATCH v4] nvdimm: btt_devs: fix a NULL pointer dereference

From: Aditya Pakki
Date: Mon Mar 25 2019 - 17:55:34 EST


In case kmemdup fails, the fix releases resources and returns to
avoid the NULL pointer dereference.

v3: Move kfree(nd_btt) to goto block.
v2: Replace incorrect kfree with ida_simple_remove, suggested by
Johannes Thumshirn
v1: Free nd_btt->id in case of failure and avoid double free, suggested
by Dan Williams
