Donet Tom 6345956466 drivers/base/node: fix double free in register_one_node()
[ Upstream commit 0efdedfa537eb534c251a5b4794caaf72cc55869 ]

When device_register() fails in register_node(), it calls
put_device(&node->dev).  This triggers node_device_release(), which calls
kfree(to_node(dev)), thereby freeing the entire node structure.

As a result, when register_node() returns an error, the node memory has
already been freed.  Calling kfree(node) again in register_one_node()
leads to a double free.

This patch removes the redundant kfree(node) from register_one_node() to
prevent the double free.

README

Linux kernel

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use make htmldocs or make pdfdocs. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
