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