Subject: [PATCH] ubifs: Fix memory leak in alloc_wbufs()

kmemleak reported a sequence of memory leaks, and show them as following:

The problem is that the ubifs_wbuf_init() returns an error in the
loop which in the alloc_wbufs(), then the wbuf->buf and wbuf->inodes
that were successfully alloced before are not freed.

Fix it by adding error hanging path in alloc_wbufs() which frees
the memory alloced before when ubifs_wbuf_init() returns an error.
