There is a memory leaks problem reported by kmemleak:

unreferenced object 0xffff888102007a00 (size 128):
comm "ubirsvol", pid 32090, jiffies 4298464136 (age 2361.231s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ................
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ................
backtrace:

This is due to a mismatch between create and destroy interfaces, and
in detail that "new_eba_tbl" created by ubi_eba_create_table() but
destroyed by kfree(), while will causing "new_eba_tbl->entries" not
freed.

Fix it by replacing kfree(new_eba_tbl) with
ubi_eba_destroy_table(new_eba_tbl)
