Cole Leavitt f8a8dfdc41 pstore/ram: fix resource leak when ioremap() fails
[ Upstream commit 2ddb69f686ef7a621645e97fc7329c50edf5d0e5 ]

In persistent_ram_iomap(), ioremap() or ioremap_wc() may return NULL on
failure. Currently, if this happens, the function returns NULL without
releasing the memory region acquired by request_mem_region().

This leads to a resource leak where the memory region remains reserved
but unusable.

Additionally, the caller persistent_ram_buffer_map() handles NULL
correctly by returning -ENOMEM, but without this check, a NULL return
combined with request_mem_region() succeeding leaves resources in an
inconsistent state.

This is the ioremap() counterpart to commit 05363abc7625 ("pstore:
ram_core: fix incorrect success return when vmap() fails") which fixed
a similar issue in the vmap() path.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
