[PATCH 3.12 22/83] nbd: fix possible memory leak

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@xxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit ff6b8090e26ef7649ef0cc6b42389141ef48b0cf upstream.

we have already allocated memory for nbd_dev, but we were not
releasing that memory and just returning the error value.
