Subject[PATCH ] mm/backing-dev.c: remove a null kfree and fix a false kmemleak in backing-dev
Date
It seems kfree(new_congested) does nothing since new_congested has already
been set null pointer before kfree, so remove it.

Meanwhile kmemleak reports the following memory leakage:

unreferenced object 0xcadbb440 (size 64):
comm "kworker/0:4", pid 1399, jiffies 4294946504 (age 808.290s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

wb_congested allocates memory for congested when wb_congested_get_create,
and release it when exit or failure by wb_congested_put.
