Subject: [PATCH v2] virtiofs: fix memory leak in virtio_fs_probe()

When accidentally passing twice the same tag to qemu, kmemleak ended up
reporting a memory leak in virtiofs.  Also, looking at the log I saw the
following error (that's when I realised the duplicated tag):

  virtiofs: probe of virtio5 failed with error -17

Here's the kmemleak log for reference:

unreferenced object 0xffff888103d47800 (size 1024):
