arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_rio.c: release rapidio port I/O region resource if port failed to initialize
The "struct rio_mport" contains a member of master port I/O memory
resource structure "struct resource iores". This resource will be read
from device tree and be used for rapidio R/W transaction memory space.
Rapidio requests the port I/O memory resource under the root resource
"iomem_resource".
struct rio_mport *port;
port = kzalloc(sizeof(struct rio_mport), GFP_KERNEL);
request_resource(&iomem_resource, &port->iores);
When port failed to initialize, allocated "rio_mport" structure memory
will be freed, and the port I/O memory resource structure pointer
"&port->iores" will be invalid. If other requests resource under
"iomem_resource", "&port->iores" node may be operated in the child
resources list and this will cause the system to crash.
So the requested port I/O memory resource should be released before
freeing allocated "rio_mport" structure.
