    pstore/ramoops: fixup driver removal · 4407de74

    A basic rmmod ramoops segfaults. Let's see why.
    
    Since commit 34f0ec82 ("pstore: Correct the max_dump_cnt clearing of
    ramoops") sets ->max_dump_cnt to zero before looping over ->przs but we
    didn't use it before that either.
    
    And since commit ee1d2674
    
     ("pstore: add pstore unregister") we free
    that memory on rmmod.
    
    But even then, we looped until a NULL pointer or ERR. I don't see where
    it is ensured that the last member is NULL. Let's try this instead:
    simply error recovery and free. Clean up in error case where resources
    were allocated. And then, in the free path, rely on ->max_dump_cnt in
    the free path.
