A memory leak was reported after the vkms module install failed.
unreferenced object 0xffff88810bc28520 (size 16):
comm "modprobe", pid 9662, jiffies 4298009455 (age 42.590s)
hex dump (first 16 bytes):

The reason is that the vkms_init() returns without checking the return
value of vkms_create(), and if the vkms_create() failed, the config
allocated at the beginning of vkms_init() is leaked.
vkms_init()
config = kmalloc(...) # config allocated
...
return vkms_create() # vkms_create failed and config is leaked
Fix this problem by checking return value of vkms_create() and free the
config if error happened.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
