Subject: [linux-next][PATCH 1/1] gpio: Delete excess allocated label memory

The changes in commit 1f2bcb8c8ccd ("gpio: protect the
descriptor label with SRCU"), desc_set_label has already
allocated memory space for the label, so there is no need
to allocate it again. otherwise memory leaks will be
introduced.
