Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 120/305] cuse: fix memory leak

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

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

From: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@...redi.hu>

commit 2c5816b4beccc8ba709144539f6fdd764f8fa49c upstream.

The problem is that fuse_dev_alloc() acquires an extra reference to cc.fc,
and the original ref count is never dropped.

Reported-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Fixes: cc080e9e9be1 ("fuse: introduce per-instance fuse_dev structure")
