[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0f303db08df0df9bd0966443ad6001e63960af16 upstream.

Fix memory leak in the gpio sysfs interface due to failure to drop
reference to device returned by class_find_device when creating a link.

Fixes: a4177ee7f1a8 ("gpiolib: allow exported GPIO nodes to be named using sysfs links")
