[PATCH] NTB: EPF: fix possible memory leak in pci_vntb_probe()

From: ruanjinjie
Date: Wed Nov 09 2022 - 04:32:18 EST


As ntb_register_device() don't handle error of device_register(),
if ntb_register_device() returns error in pci_vntb_probe(), name of kobject
which is allocated in dev_set_name() called in device_add() is leaked.

As comment of device_add() says, it should call put_device() to drop the
reference count that was set in device_initialize()
when it fails, so the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup().
