Subject: [PATCH] nvme-multipath: Fix memory leak with ana_log_buf

kmemleak reports a memory leak with the ana_log_buf allocated by
nvme_mpath_init():

unreferenced object 0xffff888120e94000 (size 8208):

nvme_mpath_init() is called by nvme_init_identify() which is called in
multiple places (nvme_reset_work(), nvme_passthru_end(), etc). This
means nvme_mpath_init() may be called multiple times before
nvme_mpath_uninit() (which is only called on nvme_free_ctrl()).

When nvme_mpath_init() is called multiple times, it overwrites the
ana_log_buf pointer with a new allocation, thus leaking the previous
allocation.

To fix this, free ana_log_buf before allocating a new one.
