nfsd: Fix a memory leak in an error handling path
[ Upstream commit fd1ef88049de09bc70d60b549992524cfc0e66ff ]
If this memdup_user() call fails, the memory allocated in a previous call
a few lines above should be freed. Otherwise it leaks.
Fixes: 6ee95d1c8991 ("nfsd: add support for upcall version 2")
