Chen Zhongjin b4fe158259 firmware: dmi-sysfs: Fix null-ptr-deref in dmi_sysfs_register_handle
[ Upstream commit 18e126e97c ]

KASAN reported a null-ptr-deref error:

KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f]
CPU: 0 PID: 1373 Comm: modprobe

---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception ]---

It is because previous patch added kobject_put() to release the memory
which will call  dmi_sysfs_entry_release() and list_del().

However, list_add_tail(entry->list) is called after the error block,
so the list_head is uninitialized and cannot be deleted.

Move error handling to after list_add_tail to fix this.

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 Restructured Text 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.
