Subject: [PATCH 3.2 44/60] dm btree: fix leak of bufio-backed block in
 btree_split_beneath error path

3.2.73-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

commit 4dcb8b57df3593dcb20481d9d6cf79d1dc1534be upstream.

btree_split_beneath()'s error path had an outstanding FIXME that speaks
directly to the potential for _not_ cleaning up a previously allocated
bufio-backed block.

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