bio_free isn't a good place to free cgroup info. There are a lot of cases bio is allocated in special way (for example, in stack) and never gets called by bio_put hence bio_free, we are leaking memory. This patch moves the free to bio endio, which should be called anyway. The bio_uninit call in bio_free is kept, in case the bio never gets called bio endio. This assumes ->bi_end_io() doesn't access cgroup info, which seems true in my audit. This along with Christoph's integrity patch should fix the memory leak issue.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
