Subject: [PATCH] UBI: fix memory leak when use fastmap

Hello,
        Sorry, there is still something wrong with the previous patch's 
format, try to submit it again. When use ubi fastmap, there is a memory 
leak which will make destroy_ai() fail to free the slab alloced in 
scan_fast(). The following patch fix this problem by use a temporary 
"ubi_attach_info" variable in scan_fast().
