[PATCH 3.4 144/176] gpio: sysfs: fix memory leak in gpiod_sysfs_set_active_low

[lizf]

From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

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

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


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")
