Subject: [PATCH v3 4.14 1/1] test_firmware: fix the memory leaks with the reqs buffer

[ commit be37bed754ed90b2655382f93f9724b3c1aae847 upstream ]

Dan Carpenter spotted that test_fw_config->reqs will be leaked if
trigger_batched_requests_store() is called two or more times.
The same appears with trigger_batched_requests_async_store().

This bug wasn't triggered by the tests, but observed by Dan's visual
inspection of the code.

The recommended workaround was to return -EBUSY if test_fw_config->reqs
is already allocated.

[ This fix is applied against the 4.14 stable branch. There are no changes to the ]
[ fix in code when compared to the upstread, only the reformatting for backport.  ]

v2 -> v3:
 minor clarifications in the versioning for the patchwork. not change to commit.

v1 -> v2:
 removed the Reviewed-by: and Acked-by tags, as this is a slightly different patch and
 those need to be reacquired
