2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Eric Paris <epa...@redhat.com>
commit a2ae4cc9a16e211c8a128ba10d22a85431f093ab upstream.
If inotify_init is unable to allocate a new file for the new inotify
group we leak the new group. This patch drops the reference on the
group on file allocation failure.
