[PATCH 5.10 43/75] net: 9p: avoid freeing uninit memory in p9pdu_vreadf

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

5.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Fedor Pchelkin <pchelkin@ispras.ru>

commit ff49bf1867578f23a5ffdd38f927f6e1e16796c4 upstream.

If some of p9pdu_readf() calls inside case 'T' in p9pdu_vreadf() fails,
the error path is not handled properly. *wnames or members of *wnames
array may be left uninitialized and invalidly freed.

Initialize *wnames to NULL in beginning of case 'T'. Initialize the first
*wnames array element to NULL and nullify the failing *wnames element so
that the error path freeing loop stops on the first NULL element and
doesn't proceed further.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org).
