From: Zheng Qixing <zhengqixing@huawei.com>

In ata_host_alloc(), if ata_port_alloc(host) fails to allocate memory
for a port, the allocated 'host' structure is not freed before returning
from the function. This results in a potential memory leak.

This patch adds a kfree(host) before the error handling code is executed
to ensure that the 'host' structure is properly freed in case of an
allocation failure.
