I've taken the patch, but I reworked your commit message. The v1
version of the patch had a more correct commit message, but it could
have used a little rework as well. This is what I entered in the commit
message:
IB/mlx4: Optimize freeing of items on error unwind
On failure, we loop through all possible pointers and test them before
calling kfree. But really, why even attempt to free items we didn't
allocate when we can easily loop through exactly and only the devices
for which the original memory allocation succeeded and free just those.
