From: Dominique Martinet <dominique.martinet@xxxxxx> the 9p client code overwrites our glock.client_id pointing to a static buffer by an allocated string holding the network provided value which we do not care about; free and reset the value as appropriate. This is almost identical to the leak in v9fs_file_getlock() fixed by Al Viro in commit ce85dd58ad5a6 ("9p: we are leaking glock.client_id in v9fs_file_getlock()"), which was returned as an error by a coverity false positive -- while we are here attempt to make the code slightly more robust to future change of the net/9p/client code and hopefully more clear to coverity that there is no problem.
