Subject: [PATCH 4.2 005/134] NFC: st-nci: fix use of uninitialized variables in error path

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

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

From: Christophe Ricard <christophe.ricard@...il.com>

commit daaf1e1f1640eb11259954d1d847d8a72ab5b938 upstream.

st_nci_hci_load_session() calls kfree_skb() on unitialized
variables skb_pipe_info and skb_pipe_list if the call to
nci_hci_connect_gate() failed. Reword the error path to not use
these variables when they are not initialized. While at it, there
seemed to be a memory leak because skb_pipe_info was only freed
once, after the for-loop, even though several ones were created
by nci_hci_send_cmd.
