4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6d06b0d25209c80e99c1e89700f1e09694a3766b ] afs_write_begin() leaks a ref and a lock on a page if afs_fill_page() fails. Fix the leak by unlocking and releasing the page in the error path.
