IB/hfi1: Fix leak of rcvhdrtail_dummy_kvaddr

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

IB/hfi1: Fix leak of rcvhdrtail_dummy_kvaddr

This buffer is currently allocated in hfi1_init():

	if (reinit)
		ret = init_after_reset(dd);
	else
		ret = loadtime_init(dd);
	if (ret)
		goto done;

	/* allocate dummy tail memory for all receive contexts */
	dd->rcvhdrtail_dummy_kvaddr = dma_alloc_coherent(&dd->pcidev->dev,
							 sizeof(u64),
							 &dd->rcvhdrtail_dummy_dma,
							 GFP_KERNEL);

	if (!dd->rcvhdrtail_dummy_kvaddr) {
		dd_dev_err(dd, "cannot allocate dummy tail memory\n");
		ret = -ENOMEM;
		goto done;
	}

The reinit triggered path will overwrite the old allocation and leak it.

Fix by moving the allocation to hfi1_alloc_devdata() and the deallocation
to hfi1_free_devdata().

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse.
