Subject: [PATCH 4.9 020/218] jffs2: fix memory leak in jffs2_scan_medium

From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@...wei.com>

commit 9cdd3128874f5fe759e2c4e1360ab7fb96a8d1df upstream.

If an error is returned in jffs2_scan_eraseblock() and some memory
has been added to the jffs2_summary *s, we can observe the following
kmemleak report:

--------------------------------------------

Therefore, we should call jffs2_sum_reset_collected(s) on exit to
release the memory added in s. In addition, a new tag "out_buf" is
added to prevent the NULL pointer reference caused by s being NULL.
(thanks to Zhang Yi for this analysis)
