[PATCH] cxgb4: fix memory leak on txq_info

From: Colin King <hidden>
Date: 2016-11-23 11:03:00

From: Colin Ian King <redacted>

Currently if txq_info->uldtxq cannot be allocated then
txq_info->txq is being kfree'd (which is redundant because it
is NULL) instead of txq_info. Fix this by instead kfree'ing
txq_info.

Applied, but Colin you _really_ need to start properly marking your
networking patch submissions by indicating in the subject which
tree your change is for.  In this case I figured out it was
net-next, but you must say this explicitly in the Subject line
via "Subject: [PATCH net-next] ..."

Thanks.

Understood, will do next time, apologies for that.
