Subject: [PATCH 059/135] s390/cio: fix measurement characteristics memleak

[ Upstream commit 0d9bfe9123cfde59bf5c2e375b59d2a7d5061c4c ]

Measurement characteristics are allocated during channel path
registration but not freed during deregistration. Fix this by
embedding these characteristics inside struct channel_path.
