Subject: crypto: cavium - fix memory leak on info
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
[ Upstream commit 87aae50af730a28dc1d8846d86dca5e9aa724a9f ]
The object info is being leaked on an error return path, fix this
by setting ret to -ENOMEM and exiting via the request_cleanup path
that will free info.
