Niklas Schnelle 48796104c8 s390/pci: Fix leak of struct zpci_dev when zpci_add_device() fails 
Prior to commit 0467cdde8c ("s390/pci: Sort PCI functions prior to
creating virtual busses") the IOMMU was initialized and the device was
registered as part of zpci_create_device() with the struct zpci_dev
freed if either resulted in an error. With that commit this was moved
into a separate function called zpci_add_device().

While this new function logs when adding failed, it expects the caller
not to use and to free the struct zpci_dev on error. This difference
between it and zpci_create_device() was missed while changing the
callers and the incompletely initialized struct zpci_dev may get used in
zpci_scan_configured_device in the error path. This then leads to
a crash due to the device not being registered with the zbus. It was
also not freed in this case. Fix this by handling the error return of
zpci_add_device(). Since in this case the zdev was not added to the
zpci_list it can simply be discarded and freed. Also make this more
explicit by moving the kref_init() into zpci_add_device() and document
that zpci_zdev_get()/zpci_zdev_put() must be used after adding.

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 reStructuredText 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.
