[PATCH] scsi: aacraid: Fix memory leak in open_getadapter_fib function

If copy_to_user() fails and returns an -EFAULT error, the memory allocated 
for fibctx was not being freed, which could lead to memory leaks.

I have compiled tested the patch. I realize I should have specified "compile tested"
 in the commit message and written "preventing potential memory leaks" instead.

I included the "Changes" section to indicate what was modified in the patch. I will 
remove this section in the updated message, as there is no version number to reference.

> Just above the copy_to_user() call there is the following statement:

Yes, you are correct. I overlooked that fibctx is part of a list, and freeing the 
memory without removing the list entry would corrupt the list. 
The list entry should be deleted before freeing the memory if copy_to_user() fails.
