Subject: [PATCH] rpmsg: fix memory leak on channel

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

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")

Fixes: 53e2822e56c7 ("rpmsg: Introduce Qualcomm SMD backend")
