Zheng Qixing c0fbc9593b ata: libata: Fix memory leak for error path in ata_host_alloc()
commit 284b75a3d83c7631586d98f6dede1d90f128f0db upstream.

In ata_host_alloc(), if devres_alloc() fails to allocate the device host
resource data pointer, the already allocated ata_host structure is not
freed before returning from the function. This results in a potential
memory leak.

Call kfree(host) before jumping to the error handling path to ensure
that the ata_host structure is properly freed if devres_alloc() fails.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
