[PATCH 4.14 34/59] pstore/ram: Avoid allocation and leak of platform data

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5631e8576a3caf606cdc375f97425a67983b420c upstream.

Yue Hu noticed that when parsing device tree the allocated platform data
was never freed. Since it's not used beyond the function scope, this
switches to using a stack variable instead.
