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

Fix two coverity warning's double free and and an uninitialized pointer
read. Both tmp and new are pointing at same address and both are freed
which leads to double free. Freeing tmp in the condition after new is
assigned with new address fixes the double free issue. new is not
initialized to null which also leads to a free on an uninitialized
pointer.
Coverity issue: 1518665 (uninitialized pointer read)
1518679 (double free)

If the `if (!new) {` above this line is true, will be tmp freed?

These numbers are the issue ID's for the errors that are being reported
by the coverity static analyzer tool.

Yes, It doesn't seem to free tmp here. Should I free tmp immediately
after the do while loop and remove `kfree(tmp)` from the `if (ret)`
block? Thanks for pointing out the errors.

I see, but I don't know which tool was used, so those seem like random
number to me. I would just remove this part of your commit message, but
if you want to keep it, you need to at least mention what's the tool.

If you free immediately after the while loop, then you would risk a use
after free here:

swap(adev->reset_dump_reg_list, tmp);

So this isn't the solution either.

But if new is not initialized to null, won't it trigger a free on an
uninitialized pointer in the first if block inside the do while loop?

This seem's like the best way to avoid the double free. Thanks for the
suggestions.
