[PATCH 3.16 095/328] uio: potential double frees if __uio_register_device() fails

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>

commit f019f07ecf6a6b8bd6d7853bce70925d90af02d1 upstream.

The uio_unregister_device() function assumes that if "info->uio_dev" is
non-NULL that means "info" is fully allocated. Setting info->uio_de
has to be the last thing in the function.

In the current code, if request_threaded_irq() fails then we return with
info->uio_dev set to non-NULL but info is not fully allocated and it can
lead to double frees.
