kmemleak reported a sequence of memory leaks, and show them as following:

The problem is that the ubifs_wbuf_init() returns an error in the
loop which in the alloc_wbufs(), then the wbuf->buf and wbuf->inodes
that were successfully alloced before are not freed.
Fix it by adding error hanging path in alloc_wbufs() which frees
the memory alloced before when ubifs_wbuf_init() returns an error.
Fixes: 1e51764a3c2a ("UBIFS: add new flash file system")
