Subject: KVM: s390: avoid memory leaks if __inject_vm() fails
From: David Hildenbrand <dahi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 428d53be5e7468769d4e7899cca06ed5f783a6e1 upstream.
We have to delete the allocated interrupt info if __inject_vm() fails.
Otherwise user space can keep flooding kvm with floating interrupts and
provoke more and more memory leaks.
