Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Don't leak in nfs_proc_symlink()

Hi,

In fs/nfs/proc.c::nfs_proc_symlink() we will leak memory if either 
nfs_alloc_fhandle() or nfs_alloc_fattr() returns NULL but the other one 
doesn't.
This patch ensures memory allocated by one when the other fails is always 
released (this is safe since nfs_free_fattr() and nfs_free_fhandle() both 
call kfree which deals gracefully with NULL pointers).
