It is not actually lost. If nfs4_client_to_reclaim() fails and thus
returns NULL - this error case is already properly handled.

If nfs4_client_to_reclaim() succeeds then reference to the memory in
question is passed to crp->cr_name.data and crp->cr_princhash.data
correspondingly, and crp->cr_strhash entry is added to the list associated
with nfsd_net. In this case the memory is supposed to be freed by
nfs4_remove_reclaim_record(). See comment for nfs4_client_to_reclaim().

So I think the patch just introduces a double-free.
