Adrian Huang bc23d4e308 af_unix: Fix memory leak in unix_dgram_sendmsg()
After running the 'sendmsg02' program of Linux Test Project (LTP),
kmemleak reports the following memory leak:

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
  unreferenced object 0xffff888243866800 (size 2048):
    comm "sendmsg02", pid 67, jiffies 4294903166

Commit 689c398885 ("af_unix: Defer sock_put() to clean up path in
unix_dgram_sendmsg().") defers sock_put() in the error handling path.
However, it fails to account for the condition 'msg->msg_namelen != 0',
resulting in a memory leak when the code jumps to the 'lookup' label.

Fix issue by calling sock_put() if 'msg->msg_namelen != 0' is met.

Fixes: 689c398885 ("af_unix: Defer sock_put() to clean up path in unix_dgram_sendmsg().")

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 reStructuredText 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.
