[PATCH] shmem: fix double memory uncharge on error path

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov
Date: Thu Sep 12 2013 - 09:46:49 EST


This patch removes erroneous call of shmem_unacct_size() from error path.
Shmem inode will release that memory reservation in shmem_evict_inode().
So, if following call of alloc_file fails we'll free reservation twice.
