[PATCH 4.9 001/241] blkcg: fix double free of new_blkg in blkcg_init_queue

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2018-03-19 18:18:13
Also in: lkml

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

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

From: Hou Tao <redacted>

commit 9b54d816e00425c3a517514e0d677bb3cec49258 upstream.

If blkg_create fails, new_blkg passed as an argument will
be freed by blkg_create, so there is no need to free it again.
