[PATCH 4.19 111/264] nvmem: core: fix possibly memleak when use nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell()

[ Upstream commit fc9eec4d643597cf4cb2fef17d48110e677610da ]

Fix missing 'kfree_const(cell->name)' when call to
nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell() in several places:

* after nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell() failed during
nvmem_add_cells()

* during nvmem_device_cell_{read,write} when cell->name is
kstrdup'ed() without calling kfree_const() at the end, but
really there is no reason to do that 'dup, because the cell
instance is allocated on the stack for some short period to be
read/write without exposing it to the caller.

So the new nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell_nodup() helper is introduced
which is used to convert cell_info -> cell without name duplication as
a lighweight version of nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell().

Fixes: e2a5402ec7c6 ("nvmem: Add nvmem_device based consumer apis.")
