[PATCH 6.12 0868/1102] afs: Fix incorrect free in candidate cleanup in afs_lookup_server()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells at redhat.com>

commit 044d596094af4b769fb8e1173dff0d08bd68db6c upstream.

Fix afs_lookup_server() to not free an existing server's endpoint state
when cleaning up a candidate server.  The candidate record doesn't have an
endpoint state yet at this point, so the free for that can just be removed.

Fixes: 4882ba78574e ("afs: Fix afs_server ref accounting")
