In ioctl exit path driver refers ioc_list to free memory associated with diag buffers and event_log pointer used to save events by driver. If ctl_exit() func is called after unregistering driver, then ioc_list will be empty and hence driver will not be able to free the allocated memory which in turn causes memory leak. So call ctl_exit() function before unregistering mpt3sas driver.
