[PATCH 01/42] sysfs: Don't leak secdata when a sysfs_dirent is freed.

[PATCH 01/42] sysfs: Don't leak secdata when a sysfs_dirent is freed.

[Eric W. Biederman]

While refreshing my sysfs patches I noticed a leak in the secdata
implementation.  We don't free the secdata when we free the
sysfs dirent. 

This is a bug in 2.6.32-rc5 that we really should close.

Grr.  Please all ignore the 01/42 in the subject.  Clearly I was
a bit too tired when I sent this but the fix is good and fixes a bug
2.6.32-rc5 that should be there in the first place.
