Greetings & Salutations,

The Coverity checker spotted two potential memory leaks in 
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.c::mpt_attach().

There are two returns that may leak the storage allocated for 
'ioc' (sizeof(MPT_ADAPTER) bytes).
A simple fix would be to simply add two kfree() calls before 
the return statements, but a better fix (that this patch 
implements) is to reorder the code so that if we hit the first 
return condition we don't have to do the allocation at all and 
then just add a kfree() call for the second case.

Please consider applying.  Patch has been compile tested only.
