Subject: [PATCH 3.16 86/87] lib/mpi: Fix karactx leak in mpi_powm

3.16.75-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au>

commit c8ea9fce2baf7b643384f36f29e4194fa40d33a6 upstream.

Sometimes mpi_powm will leak karactx because a memory allocation
failure causes a bail-out that skips the freeing of karactx.  This
patch moves the freeing of karactx to the end of the function like
everything else so that it can't be skipped.
