scsi: lpfc: Fix memory leak in lpfc_sli4_driver_resource_setup()
Overview
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: lpfc: Fix memory leak in lpfc_sli4_driver_resource_setup() The memory allocated for mboxq using mempool_alloc() is not freed in some of the early exit error paths. Fix that by moving the mempool_free() call to an earlier point after last use.
