[PATCH 3.10 31/51] pstore: Fail to unlink if a driver has not defined pstore_erase

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Aruna Balakrishnaiah <aruna@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit bf2883339a33b7544b92ea465b90c3de55082032 upstream.

pstore_erase is used to erase the record from the persistent store.
So if a driver has not defined pstore_erase callback return
-EPERM instead of unlinking a file as deleting the file without
erasing its record in persistent store will give a wrong impression
to customers.
