[PATCH] lightnvm: prevent memory leak in nvm_bb_chunk_sense

From: Navid Emamdoost
Date: Sun Sep 29 2019 - 22:34:31 EST


In nvm_bb_chunk_sense alloc_page allocates memory which is released at
the end of the function. But if nvm_submit_io_sync_raw fails the error
check skips the release and leaks the allocated page. To fix this issue
I moved the __free_page call before error check.
