Subject: [PATCH] SCSI, target, loopback: Fix memory leak in
 tcm_loop_make_scsi_hba()

There is a memory leak in tcm_loop_make_scsi_hba().

If all the strstr() calls return NULL and we end up at 
  return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
then we'll be leaking the memory previously allocated to tl_hba as that 
variable goes out of scope.

This patch fixes the leak.
