Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: Fix memleak in watchdog_cdev_register
Git-commit: 5afb6d203d0293512aa2c6ae098274a2a4f6ed02
Patch-mainline: v5.10-rc1
References: git-fixes
When watchdog_kworker is NULL, we should free wd_data
before the function returns to prevent memleak.
Fixes: 664a39236e718 ("watchdog: Introduce hardware maximum heartbeat in watchdog core")
