Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix memory leak in mlx5_core_destroy_cq() error path
Prior to this patch in case mlx5_core_destroy_cq() failed it returns
without completing all destroy operations and that leads to memory leak.
Instead, complete the destroy flow before return error.
Also move mlx5_debug_cq_remove() to the beginning of mlx5_core_destroy_cq()
to be symmetrical with mlx5_core_create_cq().
kmemleak complains on:
unreferenced object 0xc000000038625100 (size 64):
comm "ethtool", pid 28301, jiffies 4298062946 (age 785.380s)
