Subject: [PATCH 4.19 088/211] led: triggers: Fix a memory leak bug

From: Wenwen Wang <wenwen@...uga.edu>

[ Upstream commit 60e2dde1e91ae0addb21ac380cc36ebee7534e49 ]

In led_trigger_set(), 'event' is allocated in kasprintf(). However, it is
not deallocated in the following execution if the label 'err_activate' or
'err_add_groups' is entered, leading to memory leaks. To fix this issue,
free 'event' before returning the error.

Fixes: 52c47742f79d ("leds: triggers: send uevent when changing triggers")
