SubjectRe: PS/2- auxiliary device memmory leak fix.


Hello Linus!

As far as I know there is currently no garbage collecting behind the
init_module() cleanup_module() mechanis present :-).

This one-liner fixes some interresting memmory leak, which I found in the driver
for the PS/2 auxiliary device. The queue is dynamically allocated in the
corresponding init_module routine few lines above.

Please include this in the next relase ...
