Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 045/183] KVM: s390: avoid memory leaks if __inject_vm() fails

3.16.7-ckt8 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: David Hildenbrand <dahi@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 428d53be5e7468769d4e7899cca06ed5f783a6e1 upstream.

We have to delete the allocated interrupt info if __inject_vm() fails.

Otherwise user space can keep flooding kvm with floating interrupts and
provoke more and more memory leaks.
