Subject: cifs: release cifs root_cred after exit_cifs

From: Shu Wang <[email protected]>

commit 94183331e815617246b1baa97e0916f358c794bb upstream.

memory leak was found by kmemleak. exit_cifs_spnego should be called before cifs module removed, or cifs root_cred will not be released.

kmemleak report:
