ubifs: dirty_cow_znode: Fix memleak in error handling path
[ Upstream commit 122deabfe1428bffe95e2bf364ff8a5059bdf089 ]
Following process will cause a memleak for copied up znode:
dirty_cow_znode
zn = copy_znode(c, znode);
err = insert_old_idx(c, zbr->lnum, zbr->offs);
if (unlikely(err))
return ERR_PTR(err); // No one refers to zn.
Fix it by adding copied znode back to tnc, then it will be freed
by ubifs_destroy_tnc_subtree() while closing tnc.
Fetch a reproducer in [Link].
