staging: erofs: fix memleak of inode's shared xattr array
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree

Subject: staging: erofs: fix memleak of inode's shared xattr array
If it fails to read a shared xattr page, the inode's shared xattr array
is not freed. The next time the inode's xattr is accessed, the previously
allocated array is leaked.
