[PATCH] habanalabs: Avoid double free in error flow

From: Tomer Tayar
Date: Thu Aug 01 2019 - 09:57:42 EST


In case kernel context init fails during device initialization, both
hl_ctx_put() and kfree() are called, ending with a double free of the
kernel context.
Calling kfree() is needed only when a failure happens between the
allocation of the kernel context and its initialization, so move it to
there and remove it from the error flow.
