Subject: [PATCH 4.14 014/217] USB: serial: mos7720: improve OOM-handling in read_mos_reg()

From: Tom Rix <trix@...hat.com>

commit 161a582bd1d8681095f158d11bc679a58f1d026b upstream.

clang static analysis reports this problem

mos7720.c:352:2: warning: Undefined or garbage value returned to caller
        return d;
        ^~~~~~~~

In the parport_mos7715_read_data()'s call to read_mos_reg(), 'd' is
only set after the alloc block.

	buf = kmalloc(1, GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!buf)
		return -ENOMEM;

Although the problem is reported in parport_most7715_read_data(),
none of the callee's of read_mos_reg() check the return status.

Make sure to clear the return-value buffer also on allocation failures.
