qed_ilt_shadow_alloc() will call qed_ilt_shadow_free() to
free p_hwfn->p_cxt_mngr->ilt_shadow on error. However,
qed_cxt_tables_alloc() accesses the freed pointer on failure
of qed_ilt_shadow_alloc() through calling qed_cxt_mngr_free(),
which may lead to use-after-free. Fix this issue by setting
p_hwfn->p_cxt_mngr->ilt_shadow to NULL in qed_ilt_shadow_free().

Fixes: fe56b9e6a8d9 ("qed: Add module with basic common support")

Changelog:

v2: -Change the bug type from double-free to use-after-free.
    -Move the null check against p_mngr->ilt_shadow to the beginning
     of the function qed_ilt_shadow_free().
    -When kcalloc() fails in qed_ilt_shadow_alloc(), just return
     because there is nothing to free.

For future submissions please also provide links to previous versions
(would be to v1 in this case). No need to add this now for this one.

This refactoring is not acceptable as part of a fix, sorry.

Why do you dereference p_hwfn here?
Seems more natural to use:

	p_mngr->ilt_shadow = NULL;

since that's the exact pointer that was passed to free.

I will resend a new patch to fix this, thanks!
