[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] examples/fips_validation: fix resource leak on failure

[Ciara Power]

The wb_data variable went out of scope on failure in the
get_writeback_data function. This is now freed before returning -1.

Coverity issue: 363453
Fixes: 952e10cdad5e ("examples/fips_validation: support scatter gather list")
