[PATCH] ceph: Fix a memory leak in ci->i_head_snapc

I'm occasionally seeing a kmemleak warning in xfstest generic/013:

unreferenced object 0xffff8881fccca940 (size 32):
comm "kworker/0:1", pid 12, jiffies 4295005883 (age 130.648s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

It looks like it is possible that we miss a flush_ack from the MDS when,
for example, umounting the filesystem. In that case, we can simply drop
the reference to the ceph_snap_context obtained in ceph_queue_cap_snap().
