[PATCH] Fix small mem leak in IBM Hot Plug Controller Driver

[Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com>]

In drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_ebda.c::ebda_rsrc_controller(), storage is 
allocated with kzalloc() and assigned to 'tmp_slot'.
Then lots of stuff, like ->flag, ->supported_speed etc is set in tmp_slot. 
A bit further down there's then this test : 

  if (!bus_info_ptr1) {
    rc = -ENODEV;
    goto error;
  }

At this point, tmp_slot has not been assigned to anything, so when 
erroring-out we want to free it, but nothing at the 'error:' label free's 
'tmp_slot' - and we can't really free 'tmp_slot' at 'error:' since we may 
jump to that label later when 'tmp_slot' *has* been used and we do not 
want it freed. So, the only sane option left seems to be to 
kfree(tmp_slot) just before jumping to the 'error:' label in the one place 
where this is what actually makes sense. The following patch does just 
that and thus kills off a tiny potential memory leak.
