Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ubi: Fix use-after-free when volume resizing failed

There is an use-after-free problem reported by KASAN:
  ==================================================================
  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ubi_eba_copy_table+0x11f/0x1c0 [ubi]
  Read of size 8 at addr ffff888101eec008 by task ubirsvol/4735

   </TASK>

When ubi_change_vtbl_record() returns an error in ubi_resize_volume(),
"new_eba_tbl" will be freed on error handing path, but it is holded
by "vol->eba_tbl" in ubi_eba_replace_table(). It means that the liftcycle
of "vol->eba_tbl" and "vol" are different, so when resizing volume in
next time, it causing an use-after-free fault.

Fix it by not freeing "new_eba_tbl" after it replaced in
ubi_eba_replace_table(), while will be freed in next volume resizing.
