[PATCH RESEND] fs: fix WARN on alloc_super() fail path

From: Vladimir Davydov
Date: Mon Jan 06 2014 - 04:24:39 EST


On fail path alloc_super() calls destroy_super(), which issues a warning
if the sb's s_mounts list is not empty, in particular if it has not been
initialized. That said s_mounts must be initialized in alloc_super()
before any possible failure, but currently it is initialized close to
the end of the function leading to a useless warning dumped to log if
either percpu_counter_init() or list_lru_init() fails. Let's fix this.
