[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 23/90] nbd: fix possible memory leak

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.13.11-ckt20 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@xxxxxxxxx>

commit ff6b8090e26ef7649ef0cc6b42389141ef48b0cf upstream.

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