[PATCH v4] staging: r8188eu: fix a potential memory leak in _rtw_init_cmd_priv()

From: xkernel . wang
Date: Wed Apr 06 2022 - 12:11:16 EST


From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

In _rtw_init_cmd_priv(), if `pcmdpriv->rsp_allocated_buf` is allocated
in failure, then `pcmdpriv->cmd_allocated_buf` will not be properly
released. Besides, considering there are only two error paths and the
first one can directly return, we do not need to implicitly jump to the
`exit` tag to execute the error handling code.

So this patch added `kfree(pcmdpriv->cmd_allocated_buf);` on the error
path to release the resource and simplified the return logic of
_rtw_init_cmd_priv().

ChangeLog:
v1->v2: simplify the function.
v2->v3: rebase and recover some whitespace cleanups.
v3->v4: update the description.
