[BKPATCH] [BEFS] fix resource leak on register_filesystem failure

[BKPATCH] [BEFS] fix resource leak on register_filesystem failure

[Will Dyson]

Marco Cova noticed a bug in befs's init code. He said:

> It seems there's a (very) rare-case bug in linuxvfs.c:init_befs_fs
> In the current implementation, if register_filesystem() fails, the
> memory allocated through befs_init_inodecache() is not deallocated.

He also provided the trivial patch below (modulo my renaming of the goto
labels).
