NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel6.12-debuginfo-common-x86_64 package and not the kernel6.12-debuginfo-common-x86_64 package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

net/mlx5: HWS, Fix memory leak in hws_pool_buddy_init error path

In the error path of hws_pool_buddy_init(), the buddy allocator cleanup doesn't free the allocator structure itself, causing a memory leak.

Add the missing kfree() to properly release all allocated memory.
