mtd: ubi: fixup error correction in do_sync_erase()
Since fastmap we gained do_sync_erase(). This function can return an error and its error handling isn't obvious. First the memory allocation for struct ubi_work can fail and as such struct ubi_wl_entry is leaked. However if the memory allocation succeeds then the tail function takes care of the struct ubi_wl_entry. A free here could result in a double free. To make the error handling simpler, I split the tail function into one piece which does the work and another which frees the struct ubi_work which is passed as argument. As result do_sync_erase() can keep the struct on stack and we get rid of one error source.
