[PATCH v2] ubifs: free the encrypted symlink target

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>

ubifs_symlink() forgot to free the kmalloc()'ed buffer holding the
encrypted symlink target, creating a memory leak.  Fix it.

(UBIFS could actually encrypt directly into ui->data, removing the
temporary buffer, but that is left for the patch that switches to use
the symlink helper functions.)

Fixes: ca7f85be8d6c ("ubifs: Add support for encrypted symlinks")
Cc: <stable at vger.kernel.org> # v4.10+

No changes since v1, just resent as standalone patch.
