In procedure mlx4_ib_add_gid(), if the driver is unable to update the FW
gid table, there is a memory leak in the driver's copy of the gid table:
the gid entry's context buffer is not freed.
If such an error occurs, free the entry's context buffer, and mark the
entry as available (by setting its context pointer to NULL).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
