Merge tag 'upstream-3.6-rc5' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubi
Pull ubi fix from Artem Bityutskiy: "A single small fix for memory deallocation: we allocated memory using 'kmem_cache_alloc()' but were freeing it using 'kfree()' in some cases. Now we fix this by using 'kmem_cache_free()' instead." * tag 'upstream-3.6-rc5' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubi: UBI: fix a horrible memory deallocation bug
