[PATCH v2 10/62] UBI: Fix invalid vfree()

[Teresa Remmet]

From: Richard Weinberger <richard at nod.at>

The logic of vfree()'ing vol->upd_buf is tied to vol->updating.
In ubi_start_update() vol->updating is set long before vmalloc()'ing
vol->upd_buf. If we encounter a write failure in ubi_start_update()
before vmalloc() the UBI device release function will try to vfree()
vol->upd_buf because vol->updating is set.
Fix this by allocating vol->upd_buf directly after setting vol->updating.

Fixes:
