Subject: [PATCH 3.12 004/123] iio: gyro: hid-sensor-gyro-3d: Fix memory leak in probe()

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@...escale.com>

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

===============

commit d8c9d23e29e3d758ea477adaa95e28cbf3556518 upstream.

'channels' is allocated via kmemdup and it is never freed in the
subsequent error paths.

Use 'indio_dev->channels' directly instead, so that we avoid such
memory leak problem.
