ChenXiaoSong 67b3da8d30 smb/client: fix memory leak in SendReceive()
Reproducer:

  1. server: supports SMB1, directories are exported read-only
  2. client: mount -t cifs -o vers=1.0 //${server_ip}/export /mnt
  3. client: dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/file bs=512 count=1000 oflag=direct
  4. client: umount /mnt
  5. client: sleep 1
  6. client: modprobe -r cifs

The error message is as follows:

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
