[PATCH] NFC: st21nfca: Fix potential memory leak

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Sun Feb 19 2017 - 04:59:32 EST


If all bits of 'dev_mask' are already set, there is a memory leak because
'info' should be freed before returning.

While fixing it, 'return -ENOMEM' directly if the first kzalloc fails.
This makes the code more readable.
