patch 'net/failsafe: fix memory leak in args parsing' has been queued to stable release 21.11.7

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.7

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/11/24. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/b8422c5011caa63214bc3d343e56208eb84fbedb

Thanks.

Kevin
