cifsd: fix memory leak when loop ends
Memory is being allocated and if veto_list is zero, the loop breaks without cleaning up the allocated memory. In this patch, the length check has been moved before allocation. If loop breaks, the memory isn't allocated in the first place. Thus the memory is being protected from leaking.

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.
