3.16.49-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 351b0940d473146923711bc943fc881354a4c1f3 upstream. If we hit an error whilst processing a reloc then we would return early from apply_relocate & potentially not free entries in r_mips_hi16_list, thereby leaking memory. Fix this by ensuring that we always run the code to free r_mipps_hi16_list when errors occur.
