    Subject[17/34] inotify: dont leak user struct on inotify release
    2.6.34-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

    From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>

    commit b3b38d842fa367d862b83e7670af4e0fd6a80fc0 upstream.

    inotify_new_group() receives a get_uid-ed user_struct and saves the
    reference on group->inotify_data.user. The problem is that free_uid() is
    never called on it.

    Issue seem to be introduced by 63c882a0 (inotify: reimplement inotify
    using fsnotify) after 2.6.30.
