4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Shu Wang <shuwang@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 94183331e815617246b1baa97e0916f358c794bb upstream.

memory leak was found by kmemleak. exit_cifs_spnego
should be called before cifs module removed, or
cifs root_cred will not be released.

kmemleak report:
