Subject: [PATCH 11/21] target: Avoid mem leak and needless work in transport_generic_get_mem

From: Jesper Juhl <jj@...osbits.net>

In drivers/target/target_core_transport.c::transport_generic_get_mem()
there are a few potential memory leaks in the error paths. This patch
makes sure that we free previously allocated memory when other allocations
fail.  It also moves some work (INIT_LIST_HEAD() and assignment to
se_mem->se_len) below all the allocations so that if something fails we
don't do the work at all.
