Subject: [PATCH 02/23] gpiolib: cdev: Fix resource leaks on errors in gpiolib_cdev_register()

On error handling paths, gpiolib_cdev_register() doesn't free the
allocated resources which results leaks.  Fix it.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Fixes: 7b9b77a8bba9 ("gpiolib: add a per-gpio_device line state notification workqueue")
Fixes: d83cee3d2bb1 ("gpio: protect the pointer to gpio_chip in gpio_device with SRCU")
