From: Ciprian Marian Costea <ciprianmarian.costea at oss.nxp.com>
Making can_rx_offload's skb_irq_queue per-CPU (previous patch) adds an
alloc_percpu() to can_rx_offload_add_*(). That allocation has to be freed
on teardown and can fail with -ENOMEM, which exposes three problems in
at91_can:
- at91_can_remove() does not call can_rx_offload_del(), so the NAPI
instance and the per-CPU queues are leaked on unbind and module removal.
- The probe error path after a failed register_candev() jumps straight to
free_candev() without can_rx_offload_del() and leaks the same objects.
- The return value of can_rx_offload_add_timestamp() is ignored. It can now
return -ENOMEM with offload->skb_irq_queue == NULL, probe still succeeds,
and the first RX interrupt dereferences that NULL pointer in
can_rx_offload_irq_offload_timestamp() via get_cpu_ptr().
Check the return value and call can_rx_offload_del() from at91_can_remove()
and from a new error label taken when register_candev() fails.
Fixes: 137f59d5dab4 ("can: at91_can: switch to rx-offload implementation")
