Subject: [SCSI] mptfusion: mptctl_release is required in mptctl.c
From: Kashyap, Desai <[email protected]>
commit 84857c8bf83e8aa87afc57d2956ba01f11d82386 upstream.
Added missing release callback for file_operations mptctl_fops.
Without release callback there will be never freed. It remains on
mptctl's eent list even after the file is closed and released.
Relavent RHEL bugzilla is 660871
