Subject: [PATCH 1/2] powerpc/nvram: Add missing kfree in error path
If 'nvram_write_header' fails, then 'new_part' should be freed, otherwise,
there is a memory leak.
Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

This patch is *untested* because I have no way to trigger the error.
