[PATCH] mtd: rawnand: Fix a memory leak bug

From: Wenwen Wang
Date: Sun Aug 18 2019 - 03:28:59 EST


In nand_scan_bbt(), a temporary buffer 'buf' is allocated through
vmalloc(). However, if check_create() fails, 'buf' is not deallocated,
leading to a memory leak bug. To fix this issue, free 'buf' before
returning the error.
