  - ubi: Fix use-after-free when volume resizing failed There is an use-after-free problem reported by KASAN:

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. (CVE-2023-53800)
