From: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Subject: drivers/input/evdev.c: don't kfree() a vmalloc address
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().
