Subject: [PATCH] net: 9p: fix possible memory leak in p9_check_errors()

When p9pdu_readf is called with "s?d" attribute, it allocates a pointer
that will store a string. But when p9pdu_readf() fails while handling "d"
then this pointer will not be freed in p9_check_errors.

Fixes: ca41bb3e21d7 ("[net/9p] Handle Zero Copy TREAD/RERROR case in !dotl case.")
