Subject: [PATCH 4.12 18/43] binder: free memory on error

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

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

From: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@...ntu.com>

commit 22eb9476b5d80a393ac0ba235c42bccc90b82c76 upstream.

On binder_init() the devices string is duplicated and smashed into individual
device names which are passed along. However, the original duplicated string
wasn't freed in case binder_init() failed. Let's free it on error.
