Subject: kernel/user.c: fix a memory leak when freeing up non-init usernamespaces users
X-Git-Tag: 2.1b_release~13840
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=be50b8342dead8cacf57d4839240106b225d31f5;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Fkernel-mfld-blackbay.git

kernel/user.c: fix a memory leak when freeing up non-init usernamespaces users

We were returning early in the sysfs directory cleanup function if the
user belonged to a non init usernamespace.  Due to this a lot of the
cleanup was not done and we were left with a leak.  Fix the leak.
