CVE-2021-47638

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ubifs: rename_whiteout: Fix double free for whiteout_ui->data

'whiteout_ui->data' will be freed twice if space budget fail for
rename whiteout operation as following process:

rename_whiteout
  dev = kmalloc
  whiteout_ui->data = dev
  kfree(whiteout_ui->data)  // Free first time
  iput(whiteout)
    ubifs_free_inode
      kfree(ui->data)	    // Double free!

The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88810238bed8 which
belongs to the cache kmalloc-8 of size 8
==================================================================

Let ubifs_free_inode() free 'whiteout_ui->data'. BTW, delete unused
assignment 'whiteout_ui->data_len = 0', process 'ubifs_evict_inode()
-> ubifs_jnl_delete_inode() -> ubifs_jnl_write_inode()' doesn't need it
(because 'inc_nlink(whiteout)' won't be excuted by 'goto out_release',
 and the nlink of whiteout inode is 0).
