Baokun Li 607d3aab73 jffs2: fix memory leak in jffs2_do_mount_fs
commit d051cef784 upstream.

If jffs2_build_filesystem() in jffs2_do_mount_fs() returns an error,
we can observe the following kmemleak report:

--------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------

This is because the resources allocated in jffs2_sum_init() are not
released. Call jffs2_sum_exit() to release these resources to solve
the problem.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
