[PATCH 1/2] inotify: stop kernel memory leak on file creation failure

[Eric Paris]

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.

[PATCH 2/2] fanotify: do not leak user reference on allocation failure

[Eric Paris]

If fanotify_init is unable to allocate a new fsnotify group it will
return but will not drop its reference on the associated user struct.
Drop that reference on error.
