Subject: [PATCH 4.14 190/222] rpmsg: smd: fix memory leak on channel create

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

commit 940c620d6af8fca7d115de40f19870fba415efac upstream.

Currently a failed allocation of channel->name leads to an
immediate return without freeing channel. Fix this by setting
ret to -ENOMEM and jumping to an exit path that kfree's channel.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1473692 ("Resource Leak")
