[patch -resend] [SCSI] bfa: dereferencing freed memory inbfad_im_probe()

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Wed Jun 27 2012 - 05:00:08 EST


If bfad_thread_workq(bfad) was not BFA_STATUS_OK then we freed "im"
and then dereferenced it.

I did a little clean up because it seemed nicer to return directly
instead of doing a superfluous goto. I looked at other functions in
this file and it seems like returning directly is standard.
