1. Make the title as 'ubifs: authentication: Fix use-after-free in 
ubifs_tnc_end_commit'

2. At the begining of the commit msg, describe the problem:
After TNC tree inserting(which may trigger a znode split and change the 
znode->parent) and deleting(which may trigger znode freeing), the 
znode->cparent(which still points to a freed znode) may not be updated 
at the begining of commit, which could trigger an UAF problem while 
accessing znode->cparent in write_index().

3. I'd like to add the the assertion 'ubifs_assert(c, !znode->parent);'
