Zilin Guan f82680295c can: at91_can: Fix memory leak in at91_can_probe() 
[ Upstream commit 0baa4d3170 ]

In at91_can_probe(), the dev structure is allocated via alloc_candev().
However, if the subsequent call to devm_phy_optional_get() fails, the
code jumps directly to exit_iounmap, missing the call to free_candev().
This results in a memory leak of the allocated net_device structure.

Fix this by jumping to the exit_free label instead, which ensures that
free_candev() is called to properly release the memory.

Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review.

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.
