the 9p client code overwrites our glock.client_id pointing to a static
buffer by an allocated string holding the network provided value which
we do not care about; free and reset the value as appropriate.
This is almost identical to the leak in v9fs_file_getlock() fixed by
Al Viro in commit ce85dd58ad ("9p: we are leaking glock.client_id
in v9fs_file_getlock()"), which was returned as an error by a coverity
false positive -- while we are here attempt to make the code slightly
more robust to future change of the net/9p/client code and hopefully
more clear to coverity that there is no problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
