In request_key_auth_new(), if key_alloc() or key_instantiate_and_link() were to fail, we would leak a reference to the 'struct cred'. Currently this can only happen if key_alloc() fails to allocate memory. But it still should be fixed, as it is a more severe bug waiting to happen. Fix it by cleaning things up to use a helper function which frees a 'struct request_key_auth' correctly.
