In get_file_all_info(), if vfs_getattr() fails, the function returns
immediately without freeing the allocated filename, leading to a memory

Fix this by freeing the filename before returning in this error case.

Maybe we can add 'out' label.

ksmbd_debug(SMB, "filename = %s\n", filename);
delete_pending = ksmbd_inode_pending_delete(fp);
