Subject[PATCH v2] 9p/cache.c: Fix memory leak in v9fs_cache_session_get_cookie
v9fs_cache_session_get_cookie assigns a random cachetag to v9ses->cachetag,
if the cachetag is not assigned previously.

v9fs_random_cachetag allocates memory to v9ses->cachetag with kmalloc and uses
scnprintf to fill it up with a cachetag.

But if scnprintf fails, v9ses->cachetag is not freed in the current
code causing a memory leak.

Fix this by freeing v9ses->cachetag it v9fs_random_cachetag fails.

This was reported by syzbot, the link to the report is below:

Changes since v2
- Made v9ses->cachetag NULL after freeing to avoid any
side effects.
