Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.3 09/71] 9p/cache.c: Fix memory leak in v9fs_cache_session_get_cookie

From: Bharath Vedartham <linux.bhar@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 962a991c5de18452d6c429d99f3039387cf5cbb0 ]

v9fs_cache_session_get_cookie assigns a random cachetag to v9ses->cachetag,
if the cachetag is not assigned previously.

v9fs_random_cachetag allocates memory to v9ses->cachetag with kmalloc and uses
scnprintf to fill it up with a cachetag.

But if scnprintf fails, v9ses->cachetag is not freed in the current
code causing a memory leak.

Fix this by freeing v9ses->cachetag it v9fs_random_cachetag fails.
