Possible memory leak in ata_piix.c

["Catalin Marinas" <catalin.marinas@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Kmemleak found a possible memory leak in piix_init_one() in
drivers/ata/ata_piix.c. This only appeared after 2.6.19, maybe caused
by the recent patches to this area. Kmemleak cannot find any track of
the kzalloc'ed piix_host_priv structure allocated in the above
function and reports it. The allocation stack trace is below:

unreferenced object 0xde9bca60 (size 4):
 [<c018d85d>] __kmalloc_track_caller
 [<c0179249>] __kzalloc
 [<c02cf33f>] piix_init_one

Thanks.
