Subject: [PATCH 3.16 115/134] ceph: fix memory leak in __ceph_setxattr()

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

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

From: Luis Henriques <lhenriques@...e.com>

commit eeca958dce0a9231d1969f86196653eb50fcc9b3 upstream.

The ceph_inode_xattr needs to be released when removing an xattr.  Easily
reproducible running the 'generic/020' test from xfstests or simply by
doing:

  attr -s attr0 -V 0 /mnt/test && attr -r attr0 /mnt/test

While there, also fix the error path.

Here's the kmemleak splat:

unreferenced object 0xffff88001f86fbc0 (size 64):
  comm "attr", pid 244, jiffies 4294904246 (age 98.464s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    40 fa 86 1f 00 88 ff ff 80 32 38 1f 00 88 ff ff  @........28.....
    00 01 00 00 00 00 ad de 00 02 00 00 00 00 ad de  ................
