file locking fix for 3.2
From: J. Bruce Fields

Please pull the following change from the for-3.2 branch at:
git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux.git for-3.2
One small 3.2 regression in the file-locking code. Seems like an
unlikely bug (null dereference on kmalloc failure), but the fix is a
one-liner.

locks: fix null dereference on lease-break failure path
Commit 778fc546f749c588aa2f6cd50215d2715c374252 "locks: fix tracking of
inprogress lease breaks" introduced a null dereference on failure to
allocate memory.
This means an open (without O_NONBLOCK set) on a file with a lease
applied (generally only done when Samba or nfsd (with v4) is running)
could crash if a kmalloc() fails.
