This does not compile:

  CC      arch/s390/kernel/ipl.o
arch/s390/kernel/ipl.c: In function ‘ipl_report_finish’:
arch/s390/kernel/ipl.c:2159:24: warning: returning ‘void *’ from a function with return type ‘int’ makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
 2159 |                 return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
      |                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyway, before we are going to have more iterations I just applied the
patch below instead before applying your memory leak fix.

Subject: s390/kexec: fix return code handling

kexec_file_add_ipl_report ignores that ipl_report_finish may fail and
can return an error pointer instead of a valid pointer.
Fix this and simplify by returning NULL in case of an error and let
the only caller handle this case.
