Subject: [PATCH] infiniband: hfi1: fix memory leaks

In fault_opcodes_write(), 'data' is allocated through kcalloc(). However,
it is not deallocated in the following execution if an error occurs,
leading to memory leaks. To fix this issue, introduce the 'free_data' label
to free 'data' before returning the error.
