Subject: [PATCH] firmware: Google VPD: fix error handling on allocation failures

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

Fix two allocation failure checks. Firstly, ensure info is checked
for a failed allocation; this fixes a potential null pointer
dereference issue on info->key.  Secondly, free info is info->key
fails to allocate to fix a memory leak.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1430064 ("Resource Leak")
