Subject: [PATCH 3.16 138/212] PM / QoS: Fix memory leak on resume_latency.notifiers

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

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

From: John Keeping <john@...anate.com>

commit e84b4a84e52d4cd8770b4242cd09df0133333f63 upstream.

Since commit 2d984ad132a8 (PM / QoS: Introcuce latency tolerance device
PM QoS type) we reassign "c" to point at qos->latency_tolerance before
freeing c->notifiers, but the notifiers field of latency_tolerance is
never used.

Restore the original behaviour of freeing the notifiers pointer on
qos->resume_latency, which is used, and fix the following kmemleak
warning.
