[ 17/74] tracing: Do not call kmem_cache_free() on allocation failure

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Aug 26 2013 - 21:25:42 EST


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

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

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

commit aaf6ac0f0871cb7fc0f28f3a00edf329bc7adc29 upstream.

There's no point calling it when _alloc() failed.
