Subject: [Backport b4a81b87a4cf] ecryptfs: fix a memory leak bug in
ecryptfs_init_messaging()
In ecryptfs_init_messaging(), if the allocation for 'ecryptfs_msg_ctx_arr'
fails, the previously allocated 'ecryptfs_daemon_hash' is not deallocated,
leading to a memory leak bug. To fix this issue, free
'ecryptfs_daemon_hash' before returning the error.
