[PATCH 36/48] [GFS2] fix file_system_type leak on gfs2meta mount

From: swhiteho
Date: Thu Apr 17 2008 - 05:50:58 EST


From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>

get_gfs2_sb does a get_fs_type without doing a put_filesystem and
thus leaking a file_system_type reference everytime it's called.

Just use gfs2_fs_type directly instead of doing the lookup and thus
fix the problem.
