Zilin Guan bc390b2737 cifs: Fix memory and information leak in smb3_reconfigure()
[ Upstream commit cb6d5aa9c0f10074f1ad056c3e2278ad2cc7ec8d ]

In smb3_reconfigure(), if smb3_sync_session_ctx_passwords() fails, the
function returns immediately without freeing and erasing the newly
allocated new_password and new_password2. This causes both a memory leak
and a potential information leak.

Fix this by calling kfree_sensitive() on both password buffers before
returning in this error case.

Fixes: 0f0e357902957 ("cifs: during remount, make sure passwords are in sync")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
