Subject: [110/165] ext4: fix memory leaks in error path handling of ext4_ext_zeroout()

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

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

commit b720303df7352d4a7a1f61e467e0a124913c0d41 upstream (as of v2.6.34-git13)

When EIO occurs after bio is submitted, there is no memory free
operation for bio, which results in memory leakage. And there is also
no check against bio_alloc() for bio.
