Subject: [PATCH] e2fsprogs: fix freeing bitmap in allocation error path

In ext2fs_alloc_generic_bmap() error path, when new bitmap allocation
fails ext2fs_generic_bitmap should be freed, however in current state it
first frees ext2fs_generic_bitmap and then
ext2fs_generic_bitmap->description which is wrong. This commit fix the
free ordering.
