readlink, getcwd memory leaks

User-agent: Gnus/5.110002 (No Gnus v0.2) Emacs/21.3 (gnu/linux)

        * filesys.c (scm_getcwd, scm_readlink): Avoid memory leak on errors.

Unbounded growth can be seen with

        (while #t (false-if-exception (readlink "nosuchfile")))

and

        (mkdir "somedir")
        (chdir "somedir")
        (rmdir "../somedir")
        (while #t (false-if-exception (getcwd)))

This will be for the 1.6 branch too I think.
