In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: openvswitch: fix flow memory leak in ovs_flow_cmd_new

Syzkaller reports a memory leak of new_flow in ovs_flow_cmd_new() as it is
not freed when an allocation of a key fails.

To fix this the patch rearranges the goto labels to reflect the order of
object allocations and adds appropriate goto statements on the error
paths.
