[PATCH][cciss] Fix a small memory leak in the cciss driver

From: Jesper Juhl
Date: Fri Jul 20 2007 - 18:00:29 EST


Hello,

There's a memory leak in the cciss driver.

in alloc_cciss_hba() we may leak sizeof(ctlr_info_t) bytes if a
call to alloc_disk(1 << NWD_SHIFT) fails.
This patch should fix the issue.

Spotted by the Coverity checker.
Compile tested only.
