[PATCH v2] ubifs: dirty_cow_znode: Fix memleak in error handling path

Following process will cause a memleak for copied up znode:

dirty_cow_znode
  zn = copy_znode(c, znode);
  err = insert_old_idx(c, zbr->lnum, zbr->offs);
  if (unlikely(err))
     return ERR_PTR(err);   // No one refers to zn.

Fetch a reproducer in [Link].

 v1: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-mtd/patch/20221118090236.664244-3-chengzhihao1@huawei.com/
 v1->v2: In v1, if insert_old_idx() failed, old index neither exists in
	 TNC nor in old-index tree. Which means that old index node could
	 be overwritten in layout_leb_in_gaps(), then ubifs image will be
	 corrupted in power-cut.
	 In v2, copy_znode() is splitted into 2 parts: resouce allocation
	 and znode replacement, insert_old_idx() is splitted in similar
	 way, so resouce cleanup could be done in error handling path
	 without corrupting metadata(mem & disk).
	 It's okay that old index inserting is put behind of add_idx_dirt(),
	 old index is used in layout_leb_in_gaps(), so the two processes
	 do not depend on each other.
