3.16.35-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sudip Mukherjee <sudip@vectorindia.org>

commit ea32f065bd3e3e09f0bcb3042f1664caf6b3e233 upstream.

On error we jumped to the error label and returned the error code but we
missed releasing sinfo.
