[PATCH 5/8] net/netvsc: fix devargs memory leak on hotplug

[longli at linux.microsoft.com]

From: Long Li <longli at microsoft.com>

Device arguments (devargs) allocated during VF hotplug were not being
freed when the hotplug context was cleaned up, causing a memory leak.

The devargs are allocated in netvsc_hotadd_callback() via
rte_devargs_parse() and stored in the hotadd context structure. They
must be freed with rte_devargs_reset() before freeing the context.

Free devargs in both cleanup paths:
- netvsc_hotplug_retry() after hotplug attempt completes
- hn_dev_close() when canceling pending hotplug operations

Fixes: 7fc4c0997b04 ("net/netvsc: fix hot adding multiple VF PCI devices")
