[PATCH 3.12 033/146] aio: fix potential leak in aio_run_iocb().

From: Jiri Slaby

From: Leon Yu <chianglungyu@xxxxxxxxx>

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

===============

commit 754320d6e166d3a12cb4810a452bde00afbd4e9a upstream.

iovec should be reclaimed whenever caller of rw_copy_check_uvector() returns,
but it doesn't hold when failure happens right after aio_setup_vectored_rw().

Fix that in a such way to avoid hairy goto.
