[PATCH] vxfs fix

Dear Linus, Alan, Al, Christoph, all,

If one mounts without specifying a type, mount will try
all available types. After having tried vxfs the next type
will cause
	set_blocksize: b_count 1 ...
since vxfs forgets to free a block.
The patch below adds the missing brelse().
(In fact there are more resources that are never freed there -
maybe the maintainer can have a look some time -
I only added a comment.)

When mount continues to try all types, it may try V7.
That always succeeds, there is no test for magic or so,
and after garbage has been mounted as a V7 filesystem,
the kernel crashes or hangs or fails in other sad ways.
Have not tried to debug.

Andries
