3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 30c31d746d0eb458ae327f522bc8e4c44cbea0f0 upstream. It is very unlikely to happen but the backlogs memory allocation could fail and will free q->flows, but then ->destroy() will free q->flows too. For correctness remove the first free and let ->destroy clean up.
