Merge tag 'upstream-3.6-rc5' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubi

Pull ubi fix from Artem Bityutskiy:
 "A single small fix for memory deallocation: we allocated memory using
  'kmem_cache_alloc()' but were freeing it using 'kfree()' in some
  cases.  Now we fix this by using 'kmem_cache_free()' instead."
