Subject: [PATCH] ubi: fix memory leak from ubi->fm_anchor

From: Quanyang Wang <quanyang.wang@...driver.com>

Some ubi_wl_entry are allocated in erase_aeb() and one of them is
assigned to ubi->fm_anchor in __erase_worker(). And it should be freed
like others which are freed in tree_destroy(). Otherwise, it will
cause a memory leak:

unreferenced object 0xbc094318 (size 24):
  comm "ubiattach", pid 491, jiffies 4294954015 (age 420.110s)
  hex dump (first 24 bytes):
