[PATCH v2] ubifs: fix memory leak on error condition

From: Garry McNulty
Date: Thu Nov 15 2018 - 17:26:09 EST


If the call to ubifs_read_nnode() fails in ubifs_lpt_calc_hash() an
error is returned without freeing the memory allocated to 'buf'.
Read and check the root node before allocating the buffer.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID 1441025 ("Resource leak")
