The clean up in idxd_setup_wqs() has had a couple bugs because the error
handling is a bit subtle. It's simpler to just re-write it in a cleaner
way. The issues here are:
1) If "idxd->max_wqs" is <= 0 then we call put_device(conf_dev) when
"conf_dev" hasn't been initialized.
2) If kzalloc_node() fails then again "conf_dev" is invalid. It's
either uninitialized or it points to the "conf_dev" from the
previous iteration so it leads to a double free.
It's better to free partial loop iterations within the loop and then
the unwinding at the end can handle whole loop iterations. I also
renamed the labels to describe what the goto does and not where the goto
was located.

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.
