With CONFIG_NFS_V4 and data version 4, nfs_get_sb will allocate memory for
export_path in nfs4_validate_text_mount_data, so we need to free it then.
This is addressed in following kmemleak report:

nfs4_try_mount's other call site in fs/nfs/super.c also frees data->nfs_server.hostname and data->fscache_uniq. Does that need to happen here too?

I don't think we need to free data->nfs_server.hostname and data->fscache_uniq, they were freed in the out label ;-)

goto out;
}

out:
kfree(data->nfs_server.hostname);
