Andrew Morton 93ecb50a3b drivers/input/evdev.c: don't kfree() a vmalloc address
commit 92788ac1eb upstream.

If kzalloc() failed and then evdev_open_device() fails, evdev_open()
will pass a vmalloc'ed pointer to kfree.

This might fix https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88401, where
there was a crash in kfree().
