Subject: [PATCH 4.11 47/84] x86/intel_rdt: Fix memory leak on mount failure

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

------------------

From: Vikas Shivappa <vikas.shivappa@...ux.intel.com>

commit 79298acc4ba097e9ab78644e3e38902d73547c92 upstream.

If mount fails, the kn_info directory is not freed causing memory leak.

Add the missing error handling path.

Fixes: 4e978d06dedb ("x86/intel_rdt: Add "info" files to resctrl file system")
