Subject: [24/54] fs/ecryptfs/file.c: introduce missing free

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

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

From: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk>

commit ceeab92971e8af05c1e81a4ff2c271124b55bb9b upstream.

The comments in the code indicate that file_info should be released if the
function fails.  This releasing is done at the label out_free, not out.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

expression E;
