Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 141/305] dm btree: fix leak of bufio-backed block in btree_split_sibling error path

4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@...hat.com>

commit 30ce6e1cc5a0f781d60227e9096c86e188d2c2bd upstream.

The block allocated at the start of btree_split_sibling() is never
released if later insert_at() fails.

Fix this by releasing the previously allocated bufio block using
unlock_block().
