Subject: [PATCH] nfs: fix memory leak in nfs_get_sb with CONFIG_NFS_V4

With CONFIG_NFS_V4 and data version 4, nfs_get_sb will allocate memory for
export_path in nfs4_validate_text_mount_data, so we need to free it then.
This is addressed in following kmemleak report:

unreferenced object 0xffff88016bf48a50 (size 16):
  comm "mount.nfs", pid 22567, jiffies 4651574704 (age 175471.200s)
  hex dump (first 16 bytes):
    2f 6f 70 74 2f 77 6f 72 6b 00 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b a5  /opt/work.kkkkk.
