Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 113/254] dm log userspace: fix memory leak in dm_ulog_tfr_init failure path

3.16.7-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@...ras.ru>

commit 56ec16cb1e1ce46354de8511eef962a417c32c92 upstream.

If cn_add_callback() fails in dm_ulog_tfr_init(), it does not
deallocate prealloced memory but calls cn_del_callback().

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
