afs: Fix memory leak when mounting with multiple source parameters 

[ Upstream commit 4cb6829647 ]

There's a memory leak in afs_parse_source() whereby multiple source=
parameters overwrite fc->source in the fs_context struct without freeing
the previously recorded source.

Fix this by only permitting a single source parameter and rejecting with
an error all subsequent ones.

This was caught by syzbot with the kernel memory leak detector, showing
something like the following trace:

  unreferenced object 0xffff888114375440 (size 32):
    comm "repro", pid 5168, jiffies 4294923723 (age 569.948s)
    backtrace:
