[PATCH] Fix leak indrivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target_parameters.c::iscsi_copy_param_list()

From: Jesper Juhl
Date: Sun Jul 31 2011 - 18:28:24 EST


We leak memory if the allocations for 'new_param->name' or 'new_param->value' fail.
We also do a lot of variable assignments that are completely pointless
if the allocations fail.
So, let's move the allocations before the assignments and also make
sure that we free whatever was allocated to one if the allocation for
another fails.
