[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 3/3] nvme: clear caller pointer on identify failure

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Sun Mar 24 2024 - 13:17:16 EST


From: Keith Busch <kbusch@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 7e80eb792bd7377a20f204943ac31c77d859be89 ]

The memory allocated for the identification is freed on failure. Set
it to NULL so the caller doesn't have a pointer to that freed address.
