From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> ubifs_symlink() forgot to free the kmalloc()'ed buffer holding the encrypted symlink target, creating a memory leak. Fix it. (UBIFS could actually encrypt directly into ui->data, removing the temporary buffer, but that is left for the patch that switches to use the symlink helper functions.)
