[PATCH] fs/cifs/cifs_dfs_ref.c: fix potential memory leakage

From: Cong Ding
Date: Tue Jan 22 2013 - 19:20:52 EST


When it goes to error through line 144, the memory allocated to *devname is
not freed, and the caller doesn't free it either in line 250. So we free the
memroy of *devname in function cifs_compose_mount_options() when it goes to
error.
