#1716532 — [PATCH 0/1 v2] binder: free memory on error

On binder_init() the devices string is duplicated and smashed into individual
device names which are passed along. However, if I'm not mistaken the original
duplicated string wasn't freed in case binder_init() failed.

#1716544 — [PATCH 1/1 v2] binder: free memory on error

On binder_init() the devices string is duplicated and smashed into individual
device names which are passed along. However, the original duplicated string
wasn't freed in case binder_init() failed. Let's free it on error.
