[patch 12/24] dm snapshot: fix freeing pending exception

2.6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

From: Milan Broz <mbroz@xxxxxxxxxx>

Fix oops when removing full snapshot
kernel bugzilla bug 7040

If a snapshot became invalid (full) while there is outstanding
pending_exception, pending_complete() forgets to remove
the corresponding exception from its exception table before freeing it.

Already fixed in 2.6.19.
