[patch 30/31] fix page leak during core dump

[Greg KH]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Brian Pomerantz <bapper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When the dump cannot occur most likely because of a full file system and
the page to be written is the zero page, the call to page_cache_release()
is missed.
