[PATCH v2] net: mana: Fix possible double free in error handling path

From: Ma Ke <hidden>
Date: 2024-06-25 08:38:46
Also in: linux-hyperv, lkml
Subsystem: hyper-v/azure core and drivers, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: "K. Y. Srinivasan", Haiyang Zhang, Wei Liu, Dexuan Cui, Long Li, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

When auxiliary_device_add() returns error and then calls
auxiliary_device_uninit(), callback function adev_release
calls kfree(madev). We shouldn't call kfree(madev) again
in the error handling path. Set 'madev' to NULL.
