This patch fixes a memory leak in devio.c::processcompl
If writing to user space fails the packet must be discarded, as it
already has been removed from the queue of completed packets.

Hi Greg,
this patch should go into 2.6.31 and the stable series. In fact, I'll
check 2.4. It may be possible to trigger this deliberately, driving
a system into OOM.
Regards
Oliver
