Subject: sysfs: avoid kmem_cache_free(NULL)
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.23-rc1~480^2~9
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=01da2425f327d7ac673e594bee5655523115970b;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

sysfs: avoid kmem_cache_free(NULL)

kmem_cache_free() with NULL is not allowed. But it may happen
if out of memory error is triggered in sysfs_new_dirent().
This patch fixes that error handling.
