Baokun Li 9cdd312887 jffs2: fix memory leak in jffs2_scan_medium
If an error is returned in jffs2_scan_eraseblock() and some memory
has been added to the jffs2_summary *s, we can observe the following
kmemleak report:

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

Therefore, we should call jffs2_sum_reset_collected(s) on exit to
release the memory added in s. In addition, a new tag "out_buf" is
added to prevent the NULL pointer reference caused by s being NULL.
(thanks to Zhang Yi for this analysis)

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.
