Dave Wysochanski 0070ed3d9e Fix 16-byte memory leak in gssp_accept_sec_context_upcall
There is a 16-byte memory leak inside sunrpc/auth_gss on an nfs server when
a client mounts with 'sec=krb5' in a simple mount / umount loop.  The leak
is seen by either monitoring the kmalloc-16 slab or with kmemleak enabled

unreferenced object 0xffff92e6a045f030 (size 16):
  comm "nfsd", pid 1096, jiffies 4294936658 (age 761.110s)
  hex dump (first 16 bytes):
    2a 86 48 86 f7 12 01 02 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  *.H.............

    [<000000001cf69f01>] svcauth_gss_accept+0x3a6/0xb50 [auth_rpcgss]

If you map the above to code you'll see the following call chain
  gssx_dec_accept_sec_context
    gssx_dec_ctx  (missing from kmemleak output)
      gssx_dec_buffer(xdr, &ctx->mech)

Inside gssx_dec_buffer there is 'kmemdup' where we allocate memory for
any gssx_buffer (buf) and store into buf->data.  In the above instance,
'buf == &ctx->mech).

Further up in the chain in gssp_accept_sec_context_upcall we see ctx->mech
is part of a stack variable 'struct gssx_ctx rctxh'.  Now later inside
gssp_accept_sec_context_upcall after gssp_call, there is a number of
memcpy and kfree statements, but there is no kfree(rctxh.mech.data)
after the memcpy into data->mech_oid.data.

With this patch applied and the same mount / unmount loop, the kmalloc-16
slab is stable and kmemleak enabled no longer shows the above backtrace.
