From: Bharath Vedartham <linux.bhar@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 962a991c5de18452d6c429d99f3039387cf5cbb0 ] v9fs_cache_session_get_cookie assigns a random cachetag to v9ses->cachetag, if the cachetag is not assigned previously. v9fs_random_cachetag allocates memory to v9ses->cachetag with kmalloc and uses scnprintf to fill it up with a cachetag. But if scnprintf fails, v9ses->cachetag is not freed in the current code causing a memory leak. Fix this by freeing v9ses->cachetag it v9fs_random_cachetag fails.
