commit e21a2f17566cbd64926fb8f16323972f7a064444 upstream.
The following memory leak was reported after unbinding /dev/cachefiles:
==================================================================
unreferenced object 0xffff9b674176e3c0 (size 192):
comm "cachefilesd2", pid 680, jiffies 4294881224
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

==================================================================
Put the reference count of cache_cred in cachefiles_daemon_unbind() to
fix the problem. And also put cache_cred in cachefiles_add_cache() error
branch to avoid memory leaks.

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.
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.
