Subject: kobject: fix memory leak in kobject_set_name_vargs
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=020d30f17f196dcbf0c2c68a874345e8885a3149;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

kobject: fix memory leak in kobject_set_name_vargs

If the call to kvasprintf fails then the old name of the object will be leaked,
this patch fixes the bug by restoring the old name before returning ENOMEM.
