[PATCH] Free the temporary vfsmount created in bdev_cache_init()

[Catalin Marinas]

The vfsmount structure allocated in this function (the bd_mnt local
variable) is only used to obtain the blockdev_superblock and there are
no other references to it. This structure can be safely freed (and
prevent kmemleak from reporting it).

This patch was submitted and acked some time ago but I don't think it
made it into the kernel. Here it is again. Thanks.
