[PATCH] sched: Memory leak in two error corner cases

From: Phil Carmody
Date: Wed Dec 09 2009 - 12:42:37 EST


From: Phil Carmody <ext-phil.2.carmody@xxxxxxxxx>

If the second in each of these pairs of allocations fails, then
the first one will not be freed in the error route out.

Found by a static code analysis tool.
