Subject: [25/39] inotify: dont leak user struct on inotify release


2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@...nvz.org>

commit b3b38d842fa367d862b83e7670af4e0fd6a80fc0 upstream.

inotify_new_group() receives a get_uid-ed user_struct and saves the
reference on group->inotify_data.user.  The problem is that free_uid() is
never called on it.

Issue seem to be introduced by 63c882a0 (inotify: reimplement inotify
using fsnotify) after 2.6.30.
