4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Colin Ian King <colin.k...@canonical.com> commit 940c620d6af8fca7d115de40f19870fba415efac upstream. Currently a failed allocation of channel->name leads to an immediate return without freeing channel. Fix this by setting ret to -ENOMEM and jumping to an exit path that kfree's channel.
