ubi: Fix use-after-free when volume resizing failed

There is an use-after-free problem reported by KASAN:

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ubi_eba_copy_table+0x11f/0x1c0 [ubi] Read of size 8 at addr ffff888101eec008 by task ubirsvol/4735

CPU: 2 PID: 4735 Comm: ubirsvol Not tainted 6.1.0-rc1-00003-g84fa3304a7fc-dirty #14 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-1.fc33 04/01/2014 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x34/0x44 print_report+0x171/0x472 kasan_report+0xad/0x130 ubi_eba_copy_table+0x11f/0x1c0 [ubi] ubi_resize_volume+0x4f9/0xbc0 [ubi] ubi_cdev_ioctl+0x701/0x1850 [ubi] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x11d/0x170 do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 </TASK>

When ubi_change_vtbl_record() returns an error in ubi_resize_volume(), "new_eba_tbl" will be freed on error handing path, but it is holded by "vol->eba_tbl" in ubi_eba_replace_table(). It means that the liftcycle of "vol->eba_tbl" and "vol" are different, so when resizing volume in next time, it causing an use-after-free fault.

Fix it by not freeing "new_eba_tbl" after it replaced in ubi_eba_replace_table(), while will be freed in next volume resizing.
