Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: Don't leak mem in scrub_fixup().

It seems to me that we may leak the memory allocated to 'multi' in
scrub_fixup() if, for example, 'length' turns out to be less than
PAGE_SIZE after we call btrfs_map_block(). This patch should take care
of the leak by always kfree'ing 'multi' before we return in that error
case.

 Compile tested only since I don't have any btrfs filesystems to test on.
