We should free 'feature->irq_ctx[idx].name' to avoid 'name'
memory leak when request_irq() failed.

I believe (!ret) represents the success case and that simply
returning is the right thing to do. In the case of an error,
eventfd_ctx_put() and kfree() are both called.

1. Please choose an imperative wording for an improved change description.
   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?h=v6.10-rc4#n94

2. Would you like to add any tags (like “Fixes” and “Cc”) accordingly?

3. How do you think about to use a summary phrase like “Avoid memory leak
   in do_set_irq_trigger()”?

4. Under which circumstances will development interests grow for increasing
   the application of scope-based resource management?
