This patch addresses a >= v3.11 free-after-use regression in core_scsi3_emulate_pro_register() that was introduced in the following commit: commit bc118fe4c4a8cfa453491ba77c0a146a6d0e73e0 Author: Andy Grover <agrover@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu May 16 10:41:04 2013 -0700 target: Further refactoring of core_scsi3_emulate_pro_register() To avoid the free-after-use, save an type value before hand, and only call core_scsi3_put_pr_reg() with a valid *pr_reg.
