Subject: [PATCH 3.18 02/83] v9fs_dir_readdir: fix double-free on p9stat_read error

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

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

From: Dominique Martinet <dominique.martinet@....fr>

commit 81c99089bce693b94b775b6eb888115d2d540086 upstream.

p9stat_read will call p9stat_free on error, we should only free the
struct content on success.

There also is no need to "p9stat_init" st as the read function will
zero the whole struct for us anyway, so clean up the code a bit while
we are here.
