qlcnic: prevent ->dcb use-after-free on qlcnic_dcb_enable() failure
[ Upstream commit 13a7c8964afcd8ca43c0b6001ebb0127baa95362 ]
adapter->dcb would get silently freed inside qlcnic_dcb_enable() in
case qlcnic_dcb_attach() would return an error, which always happens
under OOM conditions. This would lead to use-after-free because both
of the existing callers invoke qlcnic_dcb_get_info() on the obtained
pointer, which is potentially freed at that point.
Propagate errors from qlcnic_dcb_enable(), and instead free the dcb
pointer at callsite using qlcnic_dcb_free(). This also removes the now
unused qlcnic_clear_dcb_ops() helper, which was a simple wrapper around
kfree() also causing memory leaks for partially initialized dcb.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE
static analysis tool.
