[PATCH 5.8 453/633] watchdog: Fix memleak in watchdog_cdev_register

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Dinghao Liu <dinghao.liu@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 5afb6d203d0293512aa2c6ae098274a2a4f6ed02 ]

When watchdog_kworker is NULL, we should free wd_data
before the function returns to prevent memleak.

Fixes: 664a39236e718 ("watchdog: Introduce hardware maximum heartbeat in watchdog core")
