[PATCH -next 1/2] Revert "ubifs: dirty_cow_znode: Fix memleak in error handling path"

From: Zhihao Cheng
Date: Wed Mar 01 2023 - 07:06:23 EST


This reverts commit 122deabfe1428 (ubifs: dirty_cow_znode: Fix memleak
in error handling path).
After commit 122deabfe1428 applied, if insert_old_idx() failed, old
index neither exists in TNC nor in old-index tree. Which means that
old index node could be overwritten in layout_leb_in_gaps(), then
ubifs image will be corrupted in power-cut.

Fixes: 122deabfe1428 (ubifs: dirty_cow_znode: Fix memleak ... path)
