  - octeontx2-af: Free BPID bitmap on setup failure nix_setup_bpids() allocates bp->bpids with     rvu_alloc_bitmap(), which uses a plain kcalloc(). If any of the following devm_kcalloc() allocations for     the BPID mapping arrays fails, the function returns without freeing the bitmap. Free the BPID bitmap     before returning from those error paths. (CVE-2026-72050)
