Subject: [PATCH] ubifs: xattr: Fix some potential memory leaks while iterating
entries

Fix some potential memory leaks in error handling branches while iterating xattr entries. For example, function ubifs_tnc_remove_ino() forgets to free pxent if it exists. Similar problems also exist in ubifs_purge_xattrs(), ubifs_add_orphan() and ubifs_jnl_write_inode().
