Jan Blunck 729d70f5df [PATCH] sg.c: fix a memory leak in devices seq_file implementation 
I know that scsi procfs is legacy code but this is a fix for a memory leak.

While reading through sg.c I realized that the implementation of
/proc/scsi/sg/devices with seq_file is leaking memory due to freeing the
pointer returned by the next() iterator method.  Since next() might return
NULL or an error this is wrong.  This patch fixes it through using the
seq_files private field for holding the reference to the iterator object.

Here is a small bash script to trigger the leak. Use slabtop to watch
the size-32 usage grow and grow.

#!/bin/sh

while true; do
	cat /proc/scsi/sg/devices > /dev/null
done
