Subject: [PATCH 3.18 17/24] bsg-lib: dont free job in bsg_prepare_job

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@....de>

commit f507b54dccfd8000c517d740bc45f20c74532d18 upstream.

The job structure is allocated as part of the request, so we should not
free it in the error path of bsg_prepare_job.
