Subject: [PATCH] scsi, block: fix memory leak of sdpk on when gd fails to allocate

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

On an allocation failure of gd, the current exit path is via out_free_devt
which leaves sdpk still allocated and hence it gets leaked. Fix this by
correcting the order of resource free'ing with a change in the error exit
path labels.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1399519 ("Resource Leak")
