[PATCH] cifs: fix memory leak of an allocated cifs_ntsd structure

[PATCH] cifs: fix memory leak of an allocated cifs_ntsd structure

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The call to SMB2_queary_acl can allocate memory to pntsd and also
return a failure via a call to SMB2_query_acl (and then query_info).
This occurs when query_info allocates the structure and then in
query_info the call to smb2_validate_and_copy_iov fails. Currently the
failure just returns without kfree'ing pntsd hence causing a memory
leak.  Fix this by kfree'ing pntsd before returning.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1457059 ("Resource Leak")

Fixes: 2f1afe25997f ("cifs: Use smb 2 - 3 and cifsacl mount options getacl functions")

This is a layering violation.  The memory was allocated in query_info()
so it should be freed there instead.  Also if the kmalloc() fails in
query_info() then it should return -ENOMEM instead of success.

This only affects code which calls SMB2_query_acl().  There are two
callers.  You have fixed one but the other is also buggy because we're
returning uninitialized memory in get_smb2_acl_by_path().

Eep. very true. NACK to my fixes and I'll sort out a correct fix later.

Yes - good point.  Will back this out temporarily, and also update
Aurelien's (unrelated patch) to the later version
