In alloc_inout() in net/mlx5_vnet.c, there are a few places where memory
is allocated to *in and *out, but only the values of in and out are

Colin posted something similar: [PATCH][next] vdpa/mlx5: fix memory allocation failure checks

And I think his fix is better since it prevent raw pointers to be freed.

Thanks
