[PATCH] dma-buf: fix a memory leak bug

[Wenwen Wang]

In sync_file_merge(), 'fences' is firstly allocated through kcalloc().
Later on, if the size is not sufficient, krealloc() is invoked to
reallocate 'nfences', which is assigned to 'fences'. However, if krealloc()
fails, 'fences' is not deallocated, leading to a memory leak bug.

To fix the above issue, free 'fences' before go to the 'err' label.
