Kalesh AP f884c7b15e RDMA/bnxt_re: Fix a possible memory leak in the driver 
[ Upstream commit ba60a1e8cb ]

The GID context reuse logic requires the context memory to be
not freed if and when DEL_GID firmware command fails. But, if
there's no subsequent ADD_GID to reuse it, the context memory
must be freed when the driver is unloaded. Otherwise it leads
to a memory leak.

Below is the kmemleak trace reported:

unreferenced object 0xffff88817a4f34d0 (size 8):
  comm "insmod", pid 1072504, jiffies 4402561550

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
