Subject: [PATCH][next] scsi: lpfc: Fix memory leak on lcb_context

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently there is an error return path that neglects to free the
allocation for lcb_context.  Fix this by adding a new error free
exit path that kfree's lcb_context before returning.  Use this new
kfree exit path in another exit error path that also kfree's the same
object, allowing a line of code to be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Resource leak")
Fixes: 4430f7fd09ec ("scsi: lpfc: Rework locations of ndlp reference taking")
