[PATCH] fs: dlm: Fix memory leak of object mh

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There is an error return path that is not kfree'ing mh after
it has been successfully allocates.  Fix this by moving the
call to create_rcom to after the check on rc_in->rc_id check
to avoid this.

Thanks to Alexander Ahring Oder Aring for suggesting the
correct way to fix this.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Resource leak")
Fixes: a070a91cf140 ("fs: dlm: add more midcomms hooks")

V2: don't kfree the object, instead move the check to before
    the call to create_rcom
