Subject[PATCH 5.14 067/151] phy: mdio: fix memory leak
Date
From: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit ca6e11c337daf7925ff8a2aac8e84490a8691905 ]

Syzbot reported memory leak in MDIO bus interface, the problem was in
wrong state logic.

MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED indicates 2 states:
1. Bus is only allocated
2. Bus allocated and __mdiobus_register() fails, but
device_register() was called

In case of device_register() has been called we should call put_device()
to correctly free the memory allocated for this device, but mdiobus_free()
calls just kfree(dev) in case of MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED state

To avoid this behaviour we need to set bus->state to MDIOBUS_UNREGISTERED
_before_ calling device_register(), because put_device() should be
called even in case of device_register() failure.
