[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 7/8] ipc: fix net/mlx4 memleak

[Herakliusz Lipiec <herakliusz.lipiec@intel.com>]

When sending multiple requests, rte_mp_request_sync
can succeed sending a few of those requests, but then
fail on a later one and in the end return with rc=-1.
The upper layers - e.g. device hotplug - currently
handles this case as if no messages were sent and no
memory for response buffers was allocated, which is
not true. Fixed by always freeing reply message buffers.

Fixes: 0b259b8e9655 ("net/mlx4: enable secondary process to register DMA memory")
