Author:   Yang Zhang



## Summary

In rtems_gpio_define_pin_group(), several malloc() calls did not check their return values. This could lead to NULL pointer dereferences in later initialization steps.\
\
The previous error handling also leaked memory and hardware pin resources if an intermediate step, such as pin selection or lock creation, failed during initialization.\
\
This patch refactors the error handling to use a single cleanup path.
