Gerald Schaefer a7a7aeefbc GenWQE: Fix bad page access during abort of resource allocation
When interrupting an application which was allocating DMAable
memory, it was possible, that the DMA memory was deallocated
twice, leading to the error symptoms below.

Thanks to Gerald, who analyzed the problem and provided this
patch.

I agree with his analysis of the problem: ddcb_cmd_fixups() ->
genwqe_alloc_sync_sgl() (fails in f/lpage, but sgl->sgl != NULL
and f/lpage maybe also != NULL) -> ddcb_cmd_cleanup() ->
genwqe_free_sync_sgl() (double free, because sgl->sgl != NULL and
f/lpage maybe also != NULL)

In this scenario we would have exactly the kind of double free that
would explain the WARNING / Bad page state, and as expected it is
caused by broken error handling (cleanup).

Using the Ubuntu git source, tag Ubuntu-4.4.0-33.52, he was able to reproduce
the "Bad page state" issue, and with the patch on top he could not reproduce
it any more.
