Subject: [PATCH 3.16 139/328] ubifs: Fix memory leak in lprobs self-check

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

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

From: Richard Weinberger <richard@....at>

commit eef19816ada3abd56d9f20c88794cc2fea83ebb2 upstream.

Allocate the buffer after we return early.
Otherwise memory is being leaked.
