CVE-2026-72145: platform/x86/intel/tpmi: use cleanup helpers in mem_write()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86/intel/tpmi: use cleanup helpers in memwrite()
In memwrite(), the temporary array returned by parseintarrayuser() must be released on all exit paths. Convert the array variable to use cleanup.h scope-based cleanup so it is freed automatically on return.
This also moves the array declaration next to parseintarrayuser() as required by cleanup.h usage guidelines.
