Subject: xfs: Fix leak of discard bio
From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>
commit ea7bd56fa309d10a41b1041827a63c0746c47554 upstream.
The bio describing discard operation is allocated by
__blkdev_issue_discard() which returns us a reference to it. That
reference is never released and thus we leak this bio. Drop the bio
reference once it completes in xlog_discard_endio().
