[PATCH] powerpc/pseries/htmdump: Fix leak in htmdump_init_debugfs

From: Michail Tatas <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-04 19:55:27
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

If any allocation fails during init all previous allocations are
leaked and the debugfs directory is left.
Fix by freeing the allocations that have already happened and also
remove the directory that has been created.
