In drivers/media/dvb/frontends/drxd_hard.c::load_firmware() I see 3
small issues:
1) When the 'fw' variable goes out of scope we'll leak the memory
allocated to it by request_firmware() by neglecting to call
release_firmware().
2) After a successful request_firmware() we allocate fw->size bytes
of memory using kzalloc() only to immediately overwrite all that
memory with memcpy(), so asking for zeroed memory seems like wasted
effort - just use kmalloc().
3) In one of the error messages "no memory" lacks a space and is
written as "nomemory".
This patch fixes all 3 issues.
