MIME-Version: 1.0

If the filename casefolding fails, we'll be leaking memory from the fscrypt_name struct, namely from the 'crypto_buf.name' member.

Make sure we free it in the error path on both ext4_fname_setup_filename() and ext4_fname_prepare_lookup() functions.

Fixes 1ae98e295fa2 ("ext4: optimize match for casefolded encrypted dirs")
