When device_register() fails in register_node(), it calls
put_device(&node->dev). This triggers node_device_release(), which calls
kfree(to_node(dev)), thereby freeing the entire node structure.
As a result, when register_node() returns an error, the node memory has
already been freed. Calling kfree(node) again in register_one_node()
leads to a double free.
This patch removes the redundant kfree(node) from register_one_node() to
prevent the double free.

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 reStructuredText 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.
