[PATCH] openvswitch: Fix memory leak in ovs_vport_alloc() error path

From: Christoph Jaeger
Date: Tue Aug 12 2014 - 03:38:10 EST


ovs_vport_alloc() bails out without freeing the memory 'vport' points to.

Picked up by Coverity - CID 1230503.

Fixes: 5cd667b0a4 ("openvswitch: Allow each vport to have an array of 'port_id's.")
