capabilities: fix potential memleak on error path from vfs_getxattr_alloc()
commit
8cf0a1bc12870d148ae830a4ba88cfdf0e879cee upstream.
In cap_inode_getsecurity(), we will use vfs_getxattr_alloc() to
complete the memory allocation of tmpbuf, if we have completed
the memory allocation of tmpbuf, but failed to call handler->get(...),
there will be a memleak in below logic:
|-- ret = (int)vfs_getxattr_alloc(mnt_userns, ...)
| /* ^^^ alloc for tmpbuf */
|-- value = krealloc(*xattr_value, error + 1, flags)
| /* ^^^ alloc memory */
|-- error = handler->get(handler, ...)
| /* error! */
|-- *xattr_value = value
| /* xattr_value is &tmpbuf (memory leak!) */
So we will try to free(tmpbuf) after vfs_getxattr_alloc() fails to fix it.
