V1->V2:
	In jffs2_scan_medium,
	if s = kzalloc(sizeof(struct jffs2_summary), GFP_KERNEL);
	returns error, go to "out" to do clear. Null pointer dereference
	occurs when if (s->sum_list_head) is executed in "out".

V2->V3:
	Sorry for the noise, but there seems to be a more elegant way to
	fix the memory leak in jffs2_scan_medium. When memory allocation
	fails or CONFIG_JFFS2_SUMMARY is N, s is NULL.For the former case,
	add the new tag "out_buf" to avoid it.In the latter case,
	jffs2_sum_reset_collected is also an empty function and does nothing.
