verify_and_add_patch() allocates memory for a microcode patch and hands
it down to be added to the cache of patches. However, if the cache
already has the latest patch, the newly allocated one needs to be freed
before returning. Do that.

which is this:
patch = kzalloc(sizeof(*patch), GFP_KERNEL);
--> if (!patch) {
pr_err("Patch allocation failure.\n");
return -EINVAL;
