Subject: elevator: fix double release of elevator module
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8406a4d56ea94d1d91f62cab3bed15399bac73cb;p=linux-beck.git

elevator: fix double release of elevator module

Our issue is descripted in below call path:
->elevator_init
 ->elevator_init_fn
  ->{cfq,deadline,noop}_init_queue
   ->elevator_alloc
    ->kzalloc_node
   fail to call kzalloc_node and then put module in elevator_alloc;
fail to call elevator_init_fn and then put module again in elevator_init.

Remove elevator_put invoking in error path of elevator_alloc to avoid
double release issue.
