[PATCH] rpmsg: fix possible refcount leak in rpmsg_register_device_override()

From: Hangyu Hua
Date: Thu Jun 23 2022 - 03:37:44 EST


[1] commit 1680939e9ecf ("rpmsg: virtio: Fix possible double free in
rpmsg_virtio_add_ctrl_dev()")
[2] commit c2eecefec5df ("rpmsg: virtio: Fix possible double free in
rpmsg_probe()")
[3] commit bb17d110cbf2 ("rpmsg: Fix calling device_lock() on
non-initialized device")

The above three patches merged at the same time introduced a new bug.
[1] and [2] make rpmsg_ns_register_device and rpmsg_ctrldev_register_device
need to call the callback function internally to free vch when it fails.
[3] has an error return path not handled vch.

Fix this by adding a put_device() to the error path.
