Fixes: 42a359e31a0e ("uml: SIGIO support cleanup")
I see that before that commit there was the same ordering (list_add()
before um_request_irq()).
Failure from um_request_irq() should not result in executing
winch_interrupt() which could call list_del() itself. Then, it should
be fine to delete the winch in the error path.
