If sb_min_blocksize returns 0, -EINVAL was returned without freeing
sb->s_fs_info, causing mem leak.

Fix it by goto failed_mount.


Thanks for spotting this, but, NACK to the patch.

A better fix is to call sb_min_blocksize and check the
return result before the memory is allocated.
OK, will send v2.>
