ksmbd: fix memory leak of xattr_stream_name in smb2_rename()

On an SMB2 SET_INFO(FileRenameInformation) whose target names an alternate
data stream, smb2_rename() obtains a formatted stream-name string from
ksmbd_vfs_xattr_stream_name(), which allocates it with kasprintf() and
returns it through an out-param:

	rc = ksmbd_vfs_xattr_stream_name(stream_name, &xattr_stream_name, ...);
	if (rc)
		goto out;
	rc = ksmbd_vfs_setxattr(..., xattr_stream_name, ...);
	if (rc < 0) {
		...
		goto out;
	}
	goto out;

xattr_stream_name is declared inside the alternate-data-stream block, but
the out: label is outside that block and frees only new_name, so it cannot
release xattr_stream_name. ksmbd_vfs_setxattr() takes a const char * and
only reads the name, so it does not take ownership either. Both the
setxattr-failure and the success path therefore leak the kasprintf()'d
string. An authenticated client with a writable share can leak kernel
memory on every stream rename, exhausting kernel memory over time.

Free xattr_stream_name after its use, before the block's goto out. The
two earlier goto out paths never assign the variable, so there is no
double-free.
