[PATCH][next] thermal/drivers/devfreq_cooling: Fix error return if kasprintf returns NULL

From: Colin King
Date: Thu Mar 25 2021 - 13:22:35 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently when kasprintf fails and returns NULL, the error return -ENOMEM
is being assigned to cdev instead of err causing the return via the label
remove_qos_re to return the incorrect error code. Fix this by explicitly
setting err before taking the error return path.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused valued")
Fixes: f8d354e821b2 ("thermal/drivers/devfreq_cooling: Use device name instead of auto-numbering")
