Subject: [PATCH 4.19 078/323] pinctrl: core: fix possible memory leak in pinctrl_enable()

From: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@...wei.com>

commit c7892ae13e461ed20154321eb792e07ebe38f5b3 upstream.

I got memory leak as follows when doing fault injection test:

unreferenced object 0xffff888020a7a680 (size 64):
  comm "i2c-mcp23018-41", pid 23090, jiffies 4295160544 (age 8.680s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

    [<000000006112c039>] mcp230xx_probe+0x266/0x560 [pinctrl_mcp23s08_i2c]

If pinctrl_claim_hogs() fails, the 'pindesc' allocated in pinctrl_register_one_pin()
need be freed.
