Subject: [PATCH 1/2] hfsplus: Fix kfree of wrong pointers in
 hfsplus_fill_super() error path

From: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@...onical.com>

Commit 6596528 (hfsplus: ensure bio requests are not smaller than the
hardware sectors) changed the pointers used for volume header allocations
but failed to free the correct pointers in the error path path of
hfsplus_fill_super() and hfsplus_read_wrapper.

The second hunk came from a separate patch by Pavel Ivanov.
