[PATCH 5.17 0831/1126] lib/test: use after free in register_test_dev_kmod()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit dc0ce6cc4b133f5f2beb8b47dacae13a7d283c2c ]

The "test_dev" pointer is freed but then returned to the caller.

Fixes: d9c6a72d6fa2 ("kmod: add test driver to stress test the module loader")
