Subject: [patch 14/28] dccp: fix memory leak and clean up style - dccp_feat_empty_confirm()

From: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@...il.com>

There's a memory leak in net/dccp/feat.c::dccp_feat_empty_confirm().  If we
hit the 'default:' case of the 'switch' statement, then we return without
freeing 'opt', thus leaking 'struct dccp_opt_pend' bytes.

The leak is fixed easily enough by adding a kfree(opt); before the return
statement.

The patch also changes the layout of the 'switch' to be more in line with
CodingStyle.
