[PATCH] Fix a memory leak in the function lpss8250_probe

[lumingyindetect]

From: LuMingYin <11570291+yin-luming@user.noreply.gitee.com>

In the lpss8250_probe function in the 8250_lpss.c file, the program may directly return at either line 347 or line 351, without jumping to the error handling label to release the dynamically allocated memory region pointed to by the variable pdev, as done at line 357 or line 361. This fix introduces a new label named free_irq_vectors to release the dynamically allocated memory region pointed to by pdev, thereby fixing the memory leak defect.

Hi,

You left most of my comments unaddressed. :-( Please don't send a new 
version unless you've addressed all the comments.

You also need to name version of the patch on subject line and provide the 
version history here underneath --- line.
