[ Upstream commit 4659ed7cc8514369043053463514408ca16ad6f3 ]

The try_location function is called within a loop by nfs_follow_referral.
try_location calls nfs4_pathname_string to created the export_path.
nfs4_pathname_string allocates the memory. export_path is stored in the
nfs_fs_context/fs_context structure similarly as hostname and source.
But whereas the ctx hostname and source are freed before assignment,
export_path is not.  So if there are multiple loops, the new export_path
will overwrite the old without the old being freed.

So call kfree for export_path.
