Subject: [PATCH] cciss: fix memory leak

There's a memory leak in the cciss driver.

mainline: f2912a1223c0917a7b4e054f18086209137891ea

in alloc_cciss_hba() we may leak sizeof(ctlr_info_t) bytes if a
call to alloc_disk(1 << NWD_SHIFT) fails.
This patch should fix the issue.

Spotted by the Coverity checker.
