Subject: [PATCH] nvdimm-btt: fix a potential memleak in btt_freelist_init

When an error happens in btt_freelist_init(), its caller
discover_arenas() will directly free arena, which makes
arena->freelist allocated in btt_freelist_init() a leaked
memory. Fix this by freeing arena->freelist in all error
handling paths of btt_freelist_init().
