[lvc-project] [PATCH] scsi: hpsa: prevent memory leak in hpsa_big_passthru_ioctl

In case copy_from_user() fails during the buffers allocating loop inside
hpsa_big_passthru_ioctl(), the last allocated buffer (accessed by sg_used
index) is not freed on cleanup1 error path as sg_used index has not been
incremented yet.

Free the last allocated buffer directly if copy_from_user() fails.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org).
