Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: fix memory leak in cifs_construct_tcon()

When having a multiuser mount with domain= specified and using
cifscreds, cifs_set_cifscreds() will end up setting @ctx->domainname,
so it needs to be freed before leaving cifs_construct_tcon().

This fixes the following memory leak reported by kmemleak:

  mount.cifs //srv/share /mnt -o domain=ZELDA,multiuser,...
  su - testuser
  cifscreds add -d ZELDA -u testuser
  ...
  ls /mnt/1
  ...
  umount /mnt
