[PATCH] 9p/cache.c: Fix memory leak in v9fs_cache_session_get_cookie

From: Bharath Vedartham
Date: Wed May 22 2019 - 15:19:46 EST


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.
