Subject: [PATCH] nommu: Fix memory leak in do_mmap() error path

The preallocation of the maple tree nodes may leak if the error path to
"error_just_free" is taken.  Fix this by moving the freeing of the maple
tree nodes to a shared location for all error paths.

Fixes: 8220543df148 ("nommu: remove uses of VMA linked list")
