[PATCH v2] consolemap: Fix a memory leaking bug in drivers/tty/vt/consolemap.c

From: Gen Zhang
Date: Wed May 22 2019 - 20:37:51 EST


In function con_insert_unipair(), when allocation for p2 and p1[n]
fails, ENOMEM is returned, but previously allocated p1 is not freed,
remains as leaking memory. Thus we should free p1 as well when this
allocation fails.
