Li Zhijian 62c2aa6b1f nvdimm: Fix devs leaks in scan_labels() 
scan_labels() leaks memory when label scanning fails and it falls back
to just creating a default "seed" namespace for userspace to configure.
Root can force the kernel to leak memory.

Allocate the minimum resources unconditionally and release them when
unneeded to avoid the memory leak.

A kmemleak reports:

README 

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.
