In case of of error, the bnx2fc_cmd_mgr_alloc() function will call the bnx2fc_cmd_mgr_free() to perform the cleanup. The problem is that in one case the latter may try to scan some not-yet initialized lists, resulting in a kernel panic. This patch prevents this from happening by freeing the lists before calling bnx2fc_cmd_mgr_free().
