Jethro Donaldson e424894340 smb: client: fix memory leak during error handling for POSIX mkdir
commit 1fe4a44b7fa3955bcb7b4067c07b778fe90d8ee7 upstream.

The response buffer for the CREATE request handled by smb311_posix_mkdir()
is leaked on the error path (goto err_free_rsp_buf) because the structure
pointer *rsp passed to free_rsp_buf() is not assigned until *after* the
error condition is checked.

As *rsp is initialised to NULL, free_rsp_buf() becomes a no-op and the leak
is instead reported by __kmem_cache_shutdown() upon subsequent rmmod of
cifs.ko if (and only if) the error path has been hit.

Pass rsp_iov.iov_base to free_rsp_buf() instead, similar to the code in
other functions in smb2pdu.c for which *rsp is assigned late.

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.
