[PATCH 4.19/5.4/5.10/5.15] cachefiles: fix memory leak in cachefiles_add_cache()

[Baokun Li]

commit e21a2f17566cbd64926fb8f16323972f7a064444 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.
