media: lirc: don't kfree the uninitialized pointer txbuf The current error exit path if ir_raw_encode_scancode fails is via the label out_kfree which kfree's an uninitialized pointer txbuf. Fix this by exiting via a new exit path that does not kfree txbuf. Also exit via this new exit path for a failed allocation of txbuf to avoid a redundant kfree on a NULL pointer (to save a bunch of CPU cycles).
