Subject[PATCH RESEND 1/4] proc/vmcore: fix potential memory leak in vmcore_init()
Date
From: Jianglei Nie <niejianglei2021@163.com>

elfcorehdr_alloc() allocates a memory chunk for elfcorehdr_addr with
kzalloc(). If is_vmcore_usable() returns false, elfcorehdr_addr is a
predefined value. If parse_crash_elf_headers() gets some error and
returns a negetive value, the elfcorehdr_addr should be released with
elfcorehdr_free().

Fix it by calling elfcorehdr_free() when parse_crash_elf_headers() fails.
