tipc: fix a possible memory leak
The commit a8b9b96e959f3c035af20b1bd2ba67b0b7269b19 ("tipc: fix race in disc create/delete") leads to the following static checker warning: net/tipc/discover.c:352 tipc_disc_create() warn: possible memory leak of 'req' The risk of memory leak really exists in practice. Especially when it's failed to allocate memory for "req->buf", tipc_disc_create() doesn't free its allocated memory, instead just directly returns with ENOMEM error code. In this situation, memory leak, of course, happens. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
