commit 3fea4d9d160186617ff40490ae01f4f4f36b28ff upstream.

it seems freeing the write buffers in the error path of the
ubifs_remount_rw() is wrong. It leads later to a kernel oops like this:

To reproduce the problem:

1. Filesystem initially mounted read-only, free space fixup flag set.

2. mount -o remount,rw <mountpoint>

3. it takes some time (free space fixup running)
    ... try to terminate running mount by CTRL-C
    ... does not respond, only after free space fixup is complete
    ... then "ubifs_remount_fs: cannot spawn "ubifs_bgt0_0", error -4"

4. mount -o remount,rw <mountpoint>
    ... now finished instantly (fixup already done).

5. Create file or just unmount the filesystem and we get the oops.
