Subject: [PATCH 3.16 150/366] jffs2_kill_sb(): deal with failed allocations

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

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

From: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>

commit c66b23c2840446a82c389e4cb1a12eb2a71fa2e4 upstream.

jffs2_fill_super() might fail to allocate jffs2_sb_info;
jffs2_kill_sb() must survive that.
