    dm-integrity: fix a memory leak when rechecking the data
    
    [ Upstream commit 55e565c42dce81a4e49c13262d5bc4eb4c2e588a ]
    
    Memory for the "checksums" pointer will leak if the data is rechecked
    after checksum failure (because the associated kfree won't happen due
    to 'goto skip_io').
    
    Fix this by freeing the checksums memory before recheck, and just use
    the "checksum_onstack" memory for storing checksum during recheck.
