[PATCH v3] rapidio: fix possible UAF when kfifo_alloc() fails

[Wang Weiyang]

If kfifo_alloc() fails in mport_cdev_open(), goto err_fifo and just free
priv. But priv is still in the chdev->file_list, then list traversal
may cause UAF. This fixes the following smatch warning:

drivers/rapidio/devices/rio_mport_cdev.c:1930 mport_cdev_open() warn: '&priv->list' not removed from list

Fixes: e8de370188d0 ("rapidio: add mport char device driver")

Changes in v3:
- Avoid the list addition until the new instance has been fully
  initialized.

Changes in v2:
- Put the list addition after kfifo_alloc().
