In smb2_lock(), if setup_async_work() executes successfully,
work->cancel_argv will bind the argv that generated by kmalloc(). And
release_async_work() is called in ksmbd_conn_try_dequeue_request() or
smb2_lock() to release argv.
However, when setup_async_work function fails, work->cancel_argv has not
been bound to the argv, resulting in the previously allocated argv not
being released. Call kfree() to fix it.

when setup_async_work fails, the code will go to the
"out" branch, resulting in the previously allocated "argv" not being
released. Call kfree() to fix it.

Thanks, but I found a redundant paragraph in my commit message, and I 
will send version V2 to fix it.
