Subject: nfs: fix pnfs direct write memory leak
From: Peng Tao <tao.peng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8c393f9a721c30a030049a680e1bf896669bb279 upstream.
For pNFS direct writes, layout driver may dynamically allocate ds_cinfo.buckets.
So we need to take care to free them when freeing dreq.
Ideally this needs to be done inside layout driver where ds_cinfo.buckets
are allocated. But buckets are attached to dreq and reused across LD IO iterations.
So I feel it's OK to free them in the generic layer.
