Subject: ubifs: free the encrypted symlink target
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 6b46d444146eb8d0b99562795cea8086639d7282 upstream.
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.)
Fixes: ca7f85be8d6c ("ubifs: Add support for encrypted symlinks")
