CVE-2024-56534: isofs: avoid memory leak in iocharset
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
isofs: avoid memory leak in iocharset
A memleak was found as below:

The opt->iocharset is freed inside the isofsfillsuper function, But there may be situations where it's not possible to enter this function.
For example, in the gettreebdevflags function,when encountering the situation where "Can't mount, would change RO state," In such a case, isofsfillsuper will not have the opportunity to be called,which means that opt->iocharset will not have the chance to be freed,ultimately leading to a memory leak.
Let's move the memory freeing of opt->iocharset into isofsfreefc function.
