Subject: [PATCH] scsi: smartpqi: fix memory leak in pqi_report_phys_luns()

pqi_report_phys_luns() fails to release the rpl_list buffer when
encountering an unsupported data format or when the allocation for
rpl_16byte_wwid_list fails. These early returns bypass the cleanup
logic, leading to memory leaks.

Consolidate the error handling by adding an out_free_rpl_list label
and use goto statements to ensure rpl_list is consistently freed
on failure.

Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review.

Fixes: 28ca6d876c5a ("scsi: smartpqi: Add extended report physical LUNs")
