[PATCH][next] modpost: close file when fstat fails
From: Colin King
Date: Thu May 28 2020 - 11:54:52 EST
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently a failed fstat error return path fails to close an open file.
Fix this by setting buf to NULL and returning via the error exit path.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Resource leak");
Fixes: commit 076ad831dfe8 ("modpost: add read_text_file() and get_line() helpers")
