Subject: mtd: phram: fix a double free issue in error path
From: Wen Yang <wenyang@linux.alibaba.com>
commit 49c64df880570034308e4a9a49c4bc95cf8cdb33 upstream.
The variable 'name' is released multiple times in the error path,
which may cause double free issues.
This problem is avoided by adding a goto label to release the memory
uniformly. And this change also makes the code a bit more cleaner.
