3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 093c48213ee37c3c3ff1cf5ac1aa2a9d8bc66017 ]
In probe_gdrom(), the buffer pointed by 'gd.cd_info' is allocated through kzalloc() and is used to hold the information of the gdrom device. To register and unregister the device, the pointer 'gd.cd_info' is passed to the functions register_cdrom() and unregister_cdrom(), respectively. However, this buffer is not freed after it is used, which can cause a memory leak bug.
This patch simply frees the buffer 'gd.cd_info' in exit_gdrom() to fix the above issue.
