[PATCH 1/2] hwtracing: stm: fix vfree() nonexistent vm_area

From: Kefeng Wang
Date: Mon May 20 2019 - 05:07:04 EST


If device_add() in stm_register_device() fails, stm_device_release()
is called to free stm, free stm again on err_device path will trigger
following warning,

Trying to vfree() nonexistent vm area (0000000054b5e7bc)

Only free stm once if device_add() fails to fix it.
