uio: Fix an Oops on load
I was trying to solve a double free but I introduced a more serious NULL dereference bug. The problem is that if there is an IRQ which triggers immediately, then we need "info->uio_dev" but it's not set yet. This patch puts the original initialization back to how it was and just sets info->uio_dev to NULL on the error path so it should solve both the Oops and the double free. Fixes: f019f07ecf6a ("uio: potential double frees if __uio_register_device() fails") Reported-by: Mathias Thore <Mathias.Thore@infinera.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Tested-by: Mathias Thore <Mathias.Thore@infinera.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
