[PATCH 3.8 076/152] blk-core: Fix memory corruption if blkcg_init_queue fails

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.8.13.14 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit fff4996b7db7955414ac74386efa5e07fd766b50 upstream.

If blkcg_init_queue fails, blk_alloc_queue_node doesn't call bdi_destroy
to clean up structures allocated by the backing dev.

This fix should be backported to stable kernels starting with 2.6.37. Note
that in the kernels prior to 3.5 the affected code is different, but the
bug is still there - bdi_init is called and bdi_destroy isn't.
