[PATCH 5.4 109/340] mtd: parsers: afs: Fix freeing the part name memory in failure

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[ Upstream commit 7b844cf445f0a7daa68be0ce71eb2c88d68b0c5d ]

In the case of failure while parsing the partitions, the iterator should
be pre decremented by one before starting to free the memory allocated
by kstrdup(). Because in the failure case, kstrdup() will not succeed
and thus no memory will be allocated for the current iteration.

Fixes: 1fca1f6abb38 ("mtd: afs: simplify partition parsing")
