Subject: [PATCH 4.19 076/110] rtc: pcf2127: fix a kmemleak caused in pcf2127_i2c_gather_write

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

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

[ Upstream commit 9bde0afb7a906f1dabdba37162551565740b862d ]

pcf2127_i2c_gather_write() allocates memory as local variable
for i2c_master_send(), after finishing the master transfer,
the allocated memory should be freed. The kmemleak is reported:

unreferenced object 0xffff80231e7dba80 (size 64):
