Subject: [PATCH] Revert "bsg-lib: don't free job in bsg_prepare_job"
This reverts commit eb4375e1969c48d454998b2a284c2e6a5dc9eb68 which was
commit f507b54dccfd8000c517d740bc45f20c74532d18 upstream.
Ben reports:
That function doesn't exist here (it was introduced in 4.13).
Instead, this backport has modified bsg_create_job(), creating a
leak. Please revert this on the 3.18, 4.4 and 4.9 stable
branches.
So I'm dropping it from here.
