[PATCHv2 -next] drm/amdgpu: double free error and freeing uninitialized null pointer

Fix a double free and an uninitialized pointer read error. Both tmp and
new are pointing at same address and both are freed which leads to
double free. Adding a check to verify if new and tmp are free in the
error_free label fixes the double free issue. new is not initialized to
null which also leads to a free on an uninitialized pointer.
