Subject: [PATCH] Broadcom CNIC core network driver: fix mem leak on allocation
 failures in cnic_alloc_uio_rings()

Hi,

We are leaking memory in drivers/net/cnic.c::cnic_alloc_uio_rings() if 
either of the calls to dma_alloc_coherent() fail. This patch fixes it by 
freeing both the memory allocated with kzalloc() and memory allocated with 
previous calls to dma_alloc_coherent() when there's a failure.
