In f2fs_rename() and f2fs_unlink(), directly returning -EPERM when
encountering a device aliasing file bypasses the cleanup path.

Fix this by setting err to -EPERM and jumping to the proper cleanup
labels (out_dir and out) instead of returning immediately.

Fixes: a737e409a3d6 ("f2fs: support dynamic reserve/release for device aliasing")
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxx

Applied without Fixes and stable, since the original patch has not been
upstreamed.

Jaegeuk, if we don't plan to merge them, we'd better keep the Fixes and stable
line, otherwise, once the two patches be upstreamed, we may missed to backport
the fix one due to the missing lines?

Thanks,
