Subject: [PATCH 3.2 69/94] xfs: really fix the cursor leak in
 xfs_alloc_ag_vextent_near

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

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

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@...hat.com>

commit e3a746f5aab71f2dd0a83116772922fb37ae29d6 upstream.

The current cursor is reallocated when retrying the allocation, so
the existing cursor needs to be destroyed in both the restart and
the failure cases.
