Subject: Drivers: hv: don't leak memory in vmbus_establish_gpadl()

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <[email protected]>

commit 7cc80c98070ccc7940fc28811c92cca0a681015d upstream.

In some cases create_gpadl_header() allocates submessages but we never free them.

[sumits] Note for stable:
Upstream commit 4d63763296ab7865a98bc29cc7d77145815ef89f:
(Drivers: hv: get rid of redundant messagecount in create_gpadl_header()) changes the list usage to initialize list header in all cases; that patch isn't added to stable, so the current patch is modified a little bit from the upstream commit to check if the list is valid or not.
