Subject: [PATCH 3.18 32/69] afs: Fix page leak in afs_write_begin()

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

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

From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>


[ Upstream commit 6d06b0d25209c80e99c1e89700f1e09694a3766b ]

afs_write_begin() leaks a ref and a lock on a page if afs_fill_page()
fails.  Fix the leak by unlocking and releasing the page in the error path.
