I noticed a similar problem with the tcon link leak on that (which
Colin and Gustavo pointed out - thank you!) but also in another return
statement, so updated the original patch of Ronnie's merging the fixes

https://git.samba.org/sfrench/cifs-2.6.git/?p=sfrench/cifs-2.6.git;a=commit;h=167bc5de08dc97695f9d5c7069c3e69f409ff80b


Let me know if you see any problems with it.
