[PATCH] lpfc: fix memory leak and NULL dereference

[Sudip Mukherjee]

kmalloc() can return NULL and without checking we were dereferencing it.
Moreover if kmalloc succeeds but the function fails in other parts then
we were returning the error code but we missed freeing lcb_context.
While at it fixed one related checkpatch warning.

I am not exactly sure if LSRJT_UNABLE_TPC is the right error code here.
But that was my best guess.
