[PATCH] i2c: fix a potential kmemleak of adapter device

From: Gu Zheng
Date: Tue Dec 17 2013 - 20:26:05 EST


When running with the latest kernel, we get the following kmemleak message:
unreferenced object 0xffff8800c2a36100 (size 256):
comm "modprobe", pid 629, jiffies 4294676002 (age 1531.115s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
00 00 00 00 ad 4e ad de ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 .....N..........
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 78 21 85 82 ff ff ff ff ........x!......
backtrace:

According to the backtrace, it seems that we do not release the
device_private field of adapter device in the fail path of i801_probe
or the flow of i2c_del_adapter, so add the cleanup step to fix it.
