virtio: fix memory leak in virtqueue_add()
commit 58625edf9e2515ed41dac2a24fa8004030a87b87 upstream. When using the indirect buffers feature, 'desc' is allocated in virtqueue_add() but isn't freed before leaving on a ring full error, causing a memory leak. For example, it seems rather clear that this can trigger with virtio net if mergeable buffers are not used. Signed-off-by: Wei Yongjun <weiyj.lk@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.
