[PATCH] ubifs: fix memory leak on error condition

[Garry McNulty <garrmcnu@xxxxxxxxx>]

If the call to ubifs_read_nnode() fails in ubifs_lpt_calc_hash() an
error is returned without freeing the memory allocated to 'buf'.
Jump to 'out' label to free allocated memory and return the error code.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID 1441025 ("Resource leak")
