Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sfp: fix memory leak in sfp_probe()
sfp_probe() allocates a memory chunk from sfp with sfp_alloc(). When devm_add_action() fails, sfp is not freed, which leads to a memory leak.
We should use devm_add_action_or_reset() instead of devm_add_action().
