Subject: [PATCH 4.19 131/239] HSI: core: Fix return freed object in hsi_new_client

From: Chengfeng Ye <cyeaa@...nect.ust.hk>

[ Upstream commit a1ee1c08fcd5af03187dcd41dcab12fd5b379555 ]

cl is freed on error of calling device_register, but this
object is return later, which will cause uaf issue. Fix it
by return NULL on error.
