[PATCH] Revert "ubifs: Fix memory leak bug in alloc_ubifs_info() error path"

[Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This reverts commit 9163e0184bd7d5f779934d34581843f699ad2ffd.

There actually is no memory leak. After an sget() the ubifs info
structure will be freed in the kill_sb hook. Doing it again here
leads to a double free.
As this is non obvious leave a comment where c is freed.
