[PATCH] Relay : fix cpu offline problem

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca>]

Here is a fix for how relay handles cpu hotplug in the allocation error path. If
a cpu goes down while allocating, it may result in a buffer never being freed.

Lai Jiangshan originally identified this problem in the LTTng fork of
relay (ltt-relay-alloc). Here is the fix which applies to the original
kernel/relay.c.
