Baokun Li 94965be37a cachefiles: fix memory leak in cachefiles_add_cache()
commit e21a2f1756 upstream.

The following memory leak was reported after unbinding /dev/cachefiles:

==================================================================

Put the reference count of cache_cred in cachefiles_daemon_unbind() to
fix the problem. And also put cache_cred in cachefiles_add_cache() error
branch to avoid memory leaks.
