Subject: [ 050/221] sbp-target: fix error path in sbp_make_tpg()

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

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

From: Chris Boot <bootc@...tc.net>

commit e1fe2060d7e8f58a69374135e32e90f0bb79a7fd upstream.

If the TPG memory is allocated successfully, but we fail further along
in the function, a dangling pointer to freed memory is left in the TPort
structure. This is mostly harmless, but does prevent re-trying the
operation without first removing the TPort altogether.
