[PATCH 1/1] drivers: rtc: Add module_put on error path in rtc_proc_open

[Alexander Strakh]

From: Alexander Strakh <cromlehg@xxxxxxxxx>

In file drivers/rtc/rtc-proc.c in linux-2.6.37:
	
The seq_open function can return -ENOMEM.

 86        if (!try_module_get(THIS_MODULE))
 87                return -ENODEV;
 88
 89        return single_open(file, rtc_proc_show, rtc);

In this case before exiting (line 89) from rtc_proc_open 
the module_put(THIS_MODULE) must be called.
