commit 9685347aa0a5c2869058ca6ab79fd8e93084a67f upstream.
The aloop runtime object and its assignment in the cable are left even
when opening a substream fails. This doesn't mean any memory leak,
but it still keeps the invalid pointer that may be referred by the
another side of the cable spontaneously, which is a potential Oops
cause.
Clean up the cable assignment and the empty cable upon the error path
properly.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
