Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.6 11/11] nvme: clear caller pointer on identify failure

From: Keith Busch <kbusch@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 7e80eb792bd7377a20f204943ac31c77d859be89 ]

The memory allocated for the identification is freed on failure. Set
it to NULL so the caller doesn't have a pointer to that freed address.
