Subject: [PATCH] virt: acrn: fix memory leak in acrn_dev_ioctl()

In acrn_dev_ioctl(), cpu_regs is not released or passed out on several 
error paths which could lead to memory leak bug.

Fix this bug by adding kfree of cpu_regs on error paths.

This bug was found by a static analyzer.

Builds with CONFIG_ACRN_GUEST=y, CONFIG_ACRN_HSM=y show no new warnings,
and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.

Fixes: 2ad2aaee1bc9 ("virt: acrn: Introduce an ioctl to set vCPU registers state")

---
The analysis employs differential checking to identify inconsistent
security operations (e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths
and confirms that the inconsistent operations are not recovered in
the current function or the callers, so they constitute bugs.

Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false
positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed
the bug.
