[PATCH v3 2/5] nvmem: core: initialise nvmem->id early Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski at baylibre.com>,Gaosheng Cui <cuigaosheng1 at huawei.com>,Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh at linuxfoundation.org>,linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org,linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org,Maxime Ripard <mripard at kernel.org>, Hector Martin <marcan at marcan.st>

The error path for wp_gpio attempts to free the IDA nvmem->id, but
this has yet to be assigned, so will always be zero - leaking the
ID allocated by ida_alloc(). Fix this by moving the initialisation
of nvmem->id earlier.

Fixes: f7d8d7dcd978 ("nvmem: fix memory leak in error path")
