    Fix defcred leak in krb5 gss_inquire_cred()
    
    Commit 1cd2821c19b2b95e39d5fc2f451a035585a40fa5 altered the memory
    management of krb5_gss_inquire_cred(), introducing defcred to act as
    an owner pointer when the function must acquire a default credential.
    The commit neglected to update the code to release the default cred
    along the successful path.  The old code does not trigger because
    cred_handle is now reassigned, so the default credential is leaked.
    
    Reported by Pavel Březina.
