[PATCH v4] staging: r8188eu: fix potential memory leak in _rtw_init_xmit_priv()

From: xkernel . wang
Date: Tue Sep 13 2022 - 09:25:14 EST


From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

In _rtw_init_xmit_priv(), there are several error paths for allocation
failures just jump to the `exit` section. However, there is no action
will be performed, so the allocated resources are not properly released,
which leads to various memory leaks.

To properly release them, this patch unifies the error handling code and
several error handling paths are added.
According to the allocation sequence, if the validation fails, it will
jump to its corresponding error tag to release the resources.

ChangeLog:
v1->v2 update the description and adjust the sequence of patches.
v2->v3 None to this patch, but some to another patch in this series.
v3->v4 rebase the original series and merge them due to the missing check
for kzalloc() in rtw_alloc_hwxmits() had been added.
