Subject: [PATCH] Revert "ubifs: Fix memory leak bug in alloc_ubifs_info() error path"
Date:   Thu, 24 Oct 2019 10:25:35 +0200
Message-Id: <20191024082535.1022-1-richard@nod.at>

This reverts commit 9163e0184bd7d5f779934d34581843f699ad2ffd.

At the point when ubifs_fill_super() runs, we have already a reference
to the super block. So upon deactivate_locked_super() c will get
free()'ed via ->kill_sb().
