[PATCH 3.14 02/20] gpio: sysfs: fix memory leak in gpiod_sysfs_set_active_low

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 49d2ca84e433dab854c7a866bc6add09cfab682d upstream.

Fix memory leak in the gpio sysfs interface due to failure to drop
reference to device returned by class_find_device when setting the
gpio-line polarity.

Fixes: 0769746183ca ("gpiolib: add support for changing value polarity in sysfs")
