Merge tag 'pstore-v5.5-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull pstore fix from Kees Cook:
 "Cengiz Can forwarded a Coverity report about more problems with a rare
  pstore initialization error path, so the allocation lifetime was
  rearranged to avoid needing to share the kfree() responsibilities
  between caller and callee"
