CVE-2022-49830

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/drv: Fix potential memory leak in drm_dev_init()

drm_dev_init() will add drm_dev_init_release() as a callback. When drmm_add_action() failed, the release function wont be added. As the result, the ref cnt added by device_get() in drm_dev_init() wont be put by drm_dev_init_release(), which leads to the memleak. Use drmm_add_action_or_reset() instead of drmm_add_action() to prevent memleak.
