[PATCH] dm-ioctl: Don't leak memory in target_message() if 'argc'is NULL

From: Jesper Juhl
Date: Sun Nov 06 2011 - 17:14:57 EST


If 'argc' is NULL we'll jump to the 'out:' label, but this will leak
the memory that 'dm_split_args()' allocated for 'argv', so we should
be jumping to the 'out_argv:' label instead to free up that
memory. This patch does so.
