[PATCH 3.4 74/91] genhd: fix leftover might_sleep() in blk_free_devt()

[lizf]

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxx>

3.4.105-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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


commit 46f341ffcfb5d8530f7d1e60f3be06cce6661b62 upstream.

Commit 2da78092 changed the locking from a mutex to a spinlock,
so we now longer sleep in this context. But there was a leftover
might_sleep() in there, which now triggers since we do the final
free from an RCU callback. Get rid of it.
